Check understanding
- Measure and record shadow length and direction at different times of day
- Create a graph showing how shadow length changes throughout the day
- Connect shadow patterns to the sun's apparent position and Earth's rotation
“Can your child measure their shadow at different times of day, plot it on a chart, and explain why it's longest in the morning and evening but shortest at midday?”
