                                                            LN-Changing Shadows

               Learning Objective: Children will learn about how shadows can change
               and learn about how shadows change their size
               and shape.


               Explanation:  A shadow is formed when light from
               a light source is blocked by an object. Shadows
               can change depending on the position of the light
               sources.  As  light  moves  towards  the  object,  the
               shadow  becomes  longer,  larger,  and  wider.  As
               light  moves  away  from  the  object,  the  shadow
               becomes smaller, shorter, and thinner.










               ACTIVITY-1


                   •  The teacher will conduct an activity called” Shadow Puppet Show”.
                   •  First the teacher will ask the children to

                       make stick puppets by using chart paper
                       and popsicles.
                   •  Next the teacher will make the classroom

                       dark and flash a torch light towards a wall.
                   •  The children will show the puppet towards
                       the wall and create a story by showing and moving the shadows of

                       their puppets.
                   •  The whole class will take part in this shadow act and observe
                       when you change the position and direction of the source from an

                       object the shadow changes its size and shape.
