Shadows
Shadows are shapes that appear when an object is placed between a light source and a surface. When light from the sun or a light bulb shines on something, it creates a shadow on the ground or a nearby wall. Shadows change their shape and size depending on where the light is coming from and how close or far the object is. It's fun to play with shadows and see how they move and change!
