Classify shadows
Grade 2 students investigate how shadows are formed and classify objects and conditions that affect shadow size and shape in this Light and Sound science worksheet. Teachers and parents can use it to reinforce science inquiry after a hands-on shadow-play activity or as a reading-and-answer task during a light unit. It builds Physical Science understanding by helping young learners connect observable shadow changes to the position of the light source.
Learning objectives
- Classify objects by whether they block, allow, or partially allow light to pass
- Explain how the position of a light source affects shadow size and direction
- Describe the conditions needed for a shadow to form
