Shadows — solve it right on the sheet.

What this worksheet teaches.

What the child is learning: A shadow is the dark copy light makes when something stands in the way — and it moves with the sun.

Knowledge to have ready: Long and short, morning-noon-evening, and the rule that light makes shadows happen.

Why this activity matters: Shadows are a child's first experiment they can run with their own body — the sheet formalises what the garden already shows.

• Shadow logic
• Time-of-day matching
• Counting
• Tracing and writing
• Prediction

What to say before you start: Light makes a dark copy of everything it meets. Let us catch some shadows on paper.

What to look for on the sheet: For the flashlight in the circle row — it makes shadows without the sun, and that is a discovery.

Questions to ask along the way: Why is the morning shadow long and the noon shadow short? Where is yours right now?

Helpful hints without giving it away: Long shadow means low sun — say it once, then let the sheet prove it.

Parent tips: Pencil, torch and a toy on the table turn the last box into a live experiment.

Understanding check: What do you need to make a shadow? Two things, no paper.

Real-life practice: Trace each other's shadows with chalk at noon and again after tea.
