A Shadowy Situation. A Mysterious Preschool Science Project
Physics and Astronomy- Grade:
- PreK
- Teacher:
- Jennifer Peterson
Our science project is about shadows. We chose this project because our study of shadows naturally led to curiosity with how the weather affects our shadows. After observing our shadows on a sunny day and on a cloudy day, we learned that our shadows are easy to see when the sun is shining because the sun is a source of light. When the clouds cover the sun on a cloudy day, our shadows are hard to see or are gone. Our project is important because we explored light and movement in a personal way.
This shadow exploration was very well researched, and you all did such a great job with your project.
Love the curiosity and how you tested your idea!
A very simple but interesting way of introducing physics to little ones and brings a lot of play in it.
I love to look for shadows so I was excited to see your project here. Why can’t you see a shadow when it is cloudy? is it there but you just cannot see it or is there no shadow? i want to know more! Thank you, young scientists!
Great combination of fun and learning. Keep up the good work!
