Aiza learnt how shadows are formed

Activity: "Aiza learnt how shadows are formed"

Science

• Aiza learned that shadows are formed when an object blocks light from a source.
• She understood that the size and shape of the shadow depend on the position of the object and the light source.
• Aiza learned that shadows change throughout the day as the position of the sun changes.
• She explored how shadows can be manipulated by moving objects closer or farther away from the light source.

To further develop Aiza's understanding of shadows, encourage her to explore different light sources and observe how they affect the formation and appearance of shadows. She can also experiment with different objects and materials to see how they cast different types of shadows. Additionally, encourage her to research the scientific reasoning behind shadow formation and how it relates to the behavior of light.
