Shadow Experiment

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 5H Year: 2025 - 2026

Today in Science, Year 5 have been conducting an experiment using our scientific enquiry skills. We have been looking for patterns, comparing results and observing over time. We set up an experiment in the morning to track the movement of shadows across the playground. Every hour, we went out to measure and draw the shadow, noticing where it had moved to and how it had changed in length. At the end of the day, we drew conclusions about what the shadow's movement tells us about the rotation of the Earth.

Welcome to Mount Carmel RC Primary; a place where we proclaim Christ’s message of hope and celebrate the uniqueness of each child.
