Sun Shadows

We had fun in Science this afternoon.  We left Mexico (aka our classroom) and headed for the beautiful outdoors in Leduc!   Once outside, we used cameras and took pictures of shadows that we found or created.  It was a lot of fun experimenting with shadows.   We have learned about how the sun as our light source will hit an opaque object and create a shadow.   The higher the sun is in the sky, the shorter our shadow.  Here are some of the pictures the kids took!  Maybe some future photographers out there?!

Now, the students are busy creating a poster with their pictures that we printed off and writing what they know about the position of the sun and shadows.
