Planet earth & beyond-pre assessment

This term we are studying ‘Planet Earth and Beyond’. Part of this Inquiry includes looking at how we get shadows, as well as day and night. Over the term we will be doing different investigations to better our understanding. Below is a sample of my current thinking.


We have been using chalk to draw around our shadows. I have noticed that every hour the sun turns around. The shadow moves around and gets shorter or longer.

  1. Great to see you are thinking carefully about how we get shadows, as well as day and night. Now we've been observing shadows throughout the day, has your thinking changed in any way?

    Why do you think our shadows change?
