Key Stage 2

Meaning

A shadow is a dark area caused by an object blocking the light.

About Shadows

A shadow can be caused by an opaque object blocking the light from any light source like the sun, or a light bulb.

Note for Teachers

In year 7 students frequently answer the following question incorrectly: Only the sun can cause shadows: True or False? It is unclear where this misconception comes form but teachers should take special care to ensure students consider this question thoughtfully.
