The Year 4 pupils have been exploring the Earth’s rotation on its axis and how this movement
causes day and night. They also investigated how the Earth’s rotation affects shadows and their
sizes. As part of their learning, they conducted an experiment to demonstrate that shadows
appear larger when closer to a light source. They measured shadow lengths at different times of
the day—8:00 am, 10:00 am, midday, and 3:00 pm. The pupils discovered that the longest
shadows occurred at 8:00 am and 3:00 pm.
