Learning about how our shadows change throughout the day... and why!

Today in science we explored how the position of the sun changes throughout the day - unfortunately as it was snowing today, we couldn't measure our actual shadows so we made a replica in the classroom and used a torch for our sun!

We found that in the morning and evening the shadow was longer but at midday the shadow was at its shortest. This is because the sun is highest at midday and lowest in the morning and evening.
