Science
In science we are looking at how the Sun affects plants. We are working in 3 groups. Each group has a plant. One plant is in a sunny place, one in is the cupboard ( our shady spot) and one is on a table in our classroom (our in between spot). We will be measuring our plants and observing any changes over the next week.
Friday: Today we looked at shadows. We learnt that shadows are made when we block the Sun's rays. We took our sundials outside at 9 o'clock and marked the line where the shadow fell. We repeated this again at 12 and 2 pm. Also we got into groups of 5 and one person was the shadow child. We drew an outline around them at 9am, 12 and 2pm.
We made some interesting observations...
"the shadows are getting smaller"
" the shadows are moving to the side"
"our shadows have moved the same way as the clocks"
We had a discussion about the relationship between the Sun's position in the sky and the shadow length.
Great learning room 2!
