Companion summary
Have you ever noticed your shadow getting tall and stretchy in the evening sun? Shadows help us understand how light travels and blocks in everyday life. Light cannot bend around you, so wherever you stand, your shadow copies your shape perfectly. When you finish, try making shadow animals on a wall with a torch tonight.
Look at Your Shadow!
Look at Your Shadow!
Stand in the sunshine. Look down. Can you see a dark shape? That dark shape is YOUR shadow! Wave your hand. Does your shadow wave too?
