Year 4 Science: Light and Shadows

September 29, 2020

This half term, Year 4 have been revising their year 3 topic, light. 

On Thursday, we discussed how shadows are formed and how they change according to position and distance. To explore this concept, we carried out an investigation. We found that the closer the object is to a light source, the larger the shadow and the further away the object is the smaller the shadow, as less light is being blocked. 

Here is a picture of some year 4 pupils in action!
