Making shadows Light ~ Activity 1 Objectives • recognise that light comes from different sources • recognise that light is needed in order to see Working scientifically • Questioning • Observing • Predicting • Investigating and experimenting • Recording and communicating Designing and making • Exploring • Making Background information Light travels in straight lines. Any object which cuts off the source of light produces a region of shade behind it and casts a shadow on any surface in that region. Before the lesson Materials needed • Torches, OHP, cardboard box, assorted items for the stimulus (e.g. scissors, watch, paperclip, comb, fork), black paint, large felt-tip pen, sheets of A3 white paper, strip of white paper for mounting, chalk. Preparation • Cut the base from the cardboard box and place onto an OHP. Inside the box place a number of everyday objects. The lesson Stimulus • Turn on the OHP for 30 seconds. Pupils write down all the objects they recognised and remembered. What to do • Take pupils outside to observe shadows (use an area where shadows can be traced). This is best done in the afternoon or morning when the shadows are longer. Discuss with the pupils: ‘Does your shadow move in the same direction as you? Can you jump on your shadow? Does your body always touch your shadow? Can you and your partner make your shadows touch without touching each other? What is the biggest shadow you can make? What is the smallest shadow you can make?’ Pupils record their shadows by tracing around them with chalk. • Pupils write their observations on their worksheets. • Using the OHP, trace the silhouette of each child’s head on paper. Pupils paint their silhouettes black and cut them out. Mount them on a strip of white paper. • Number each silhouette and have pupils match the silhouette number to the individual. After the lesson Answers 1. Pupils need to find a shape that blocks out the least amount of sun. Lying down in a ball shape may be the best way to achieve this. 2. Pupils need to find a shape that blocks out the most amount of sun. Standing tall and wide and holding out clothing may be the best way to achieve this. 3. (a) No (b) If you jump off the ground you will separate from your shadow. 4. Teacher check Viewing Sample Additional activities • Pupils make shadow puppets with their hands. • Return to the chalk outlines outside and record the shadows when they are in exactly the same position as they were previously. Display ideas • Use the strip of silhouettes as a border for a ‘shadows’ display. • Take photos of pupils’ shadows outside and have pupils write captions for each one to display on a photo board. 38 <strong>PR</strong>IMARY SCIENCE ~ Prim-Ed Publishing ~ www.prim-ed.com
