After learning about the heat energy from the Sun, Year 5 then looked at the light energy it produced. We discussed how light travels and saw why we get shadows. Then we did an investigation as to how shadows change throughout the day while the Earth spins on its axis.
We placed an object on a piece of paper and shone a lamp from different angles. As the angles changed it represented the Sun appearing to move throughout the day. We drew around the shadows and compared them.
