Identify shadows — free printable Grade 2 Science worksheet

Grade 2 students investigate how shadows form when light is blocked, building their understanding of light and sound in Physical Science through observable, everyday phenomena. Teachers can use this medium-difficulty worksheet alongside an outdoor or flashlight exploration to help students connect hands-on observation to the science of shadow formation. It introduces the idea that light travels in straight lines and that objects block it to create shadows.

Learning objectives

  • Identify what causes shadows to form when light is blocked by an object
  • Describe how the position of a light source affects the size and direction of a shadow
  • Connect shadow formation to the concept that light travels in straight lines
