In science we investigated this question. We know our own shadows move when we move. We figured out how, using a flashlight, we could make a fixed object's shadow move to be different sizes and in different positions. We learned this happened by moving the light source around. Students made the connection that the sun is a light that moves (or seems to move compared to us) and therefore causes different shadows. This activity will be a grounding activity to refer back to as we discuss why the moon looks different at different times.
We got really excited when we managed to make the gnome's shadow line up with the shadow patterns on the page!
