Exploring shadows

We went outside out looked at our shadows. They copied us.

Our bodies needed the sunlight to make a shadow. When the sun was behind a cloud we couldn't see our shadows
Our bodies block the sunlight.

A shadow is a place where no light can get to.

Then we came inside to the 'dark tent' and shone torch light at the Earth.


Half the Earth became light, making it day time and the other side stayed dark, making it night time.

We thought it was funny that while it is day time here in New Zealand, on the other side of Earth in Scotland, people are sleeping in the night.
