Identify shadows — free printable Grade 1 Science worksheet

Grade 1 students explore how shadows form and change by observing the relationship between a light source, an object, and the shadow it creates in this physical science worksheet. Teachers can use it as a companion to an outdoor shadow investigation or a classroom flashlight activity, helping students connect hands-on exploration to scientific explanation. The concept of shadows opens the door to understanding light direction, the sun's apparent movement, and how light interacts with matter.

Learning objectives

  • Identify what is needed to produce a shadow: a light source and an opaque object
  • Describe how the position of a light source affects the size and direction of a shadow
  • Predict what will happen to a shadow when the light source or object moves
