Today we investigated the path of the sun across our sky. We were also exploring the relationship between the placement of the sun and the length of our shadows.
We discovered the lower the sun is in sky the longer our shadow will be. The higher the sun is in the sky and shorter our shadow will be.
At midday the sun is at its higher point and is at its most powerful. This position is called Meridian.

I think that drawing our shadows was really fun because we got to get out of the class!

Drawing around people was so fun! I loved how you could see the different sizes shadows could be throughout the day! A lot of people did funny poses, and you can still see them!
recording the shadows was fun!!! even though i only recorded my 11.45 one and my 2.32 but it was really fun we found out that when you turn your back on your shadow you are taller than you were before!
