First graders continued to investigate patterns in the sky. They focused on shadows and used flashlights and LEGO figurines to create shadows. They noticed shadows are larger or smaller depending on how close the light source is to the object. They noticed shadows move throughout the day. They are ready to trace their shadows on a sunny day and play Shadow Tag at home.
