Shadows




Last week we learned about shadows. We learned that to have a shadow you need light and an object. We also learned that the closer we are to the light, the bigger our shadow gets. We did an experiment with our hampster, Deuce McAllister and an in- focus machine. When I brought him close to the light, he looked gigantic on the screen. When he was far away, he was little bitty! We also got to make shadows of our own!
