Around the room are some resources for you to make you wonder! Cofiwch... 

 

Curiosity is a strong desire to know or learn something!

 

You will have 30 minutes on each activity!

1. Using the maths resources, create a shape on white paper. Draw it's shadow. What do you notice?

 

2. Make a puppet using the resources. Create a puppet show on the wall. What do you notice?

 

 

Look in the tuff tray... which do you think is correct? Why?

L.O: To predict and investigate how the position, shape and size of a shadow depend on the position of the object in relation to the light source.

Now let's have a go! Remember, we are plotting the AVERAGE, meaning you only need to look at these numbers. 

 

Time to make our final conclusions!

WAGOLL:

Conclusion:

I found out that as the light got further away from the object, the shadow got_______. I think this happened because my research told me that________.

 

Time to complete out final reflections!

 

WAGOLL:

Reflection:

On reflection, what went well was the group work. I think this went well because... I also think we were very accurate because our results...

 

If I did this experiment again, I would change... I think this would make the experiment better and more accurate.
