Science with Shadows

We had to cut the shoe boxes to let enough light to see the shadow theatre. We used baking paper and created our characters out of paper, cardboard and straws. It was important we didn't cut the characters the wrong way.  

 We learnt that when something is in the way of the sun then on the other side of the object there will be a shadow. We had to actually find a spot where there was enough light to see our character's shadows.

We showed our plays to other people in our class. Todd thought that it was very funny, the play looked like a comedy. 

 Maddy liked using the shadows to make the play. Mary thought it was funny because our comedy was really funny. It was called Mumma Mia.
