What can shadows show us about light?  Students observed four opaque objects, the shadow the object made, and where the sun was located.

We examined the shadows closely to draw conclusions about light waves traveling in a straight line and to make connections to our knowledge of seasons.  Then we had some shadow fun.  (Make the smallest shadow you can, make the biggest shadow you can, and make the craziest shadow you can!)  Long, delicately colored, artistic shadows on the snow are just one of the blessings of a New England winter.
