Investigate shadows
Free printable Kindergarten science worksheet for "Investigate shadows" — practice light and sound. No-prep, print or assign online.
This kindergarten Physical Science worksheet invites young learners to investigate shadows by observing how they form when objects block light, building an early foundation in light behavior. Teachers can pair it with hands-on shadow play outdoors or with a flashlight and object exploration indoors, using the worksheet as a recording and discussion scaffold. It supports Kindergarten standards that ask students to make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface and the role of light and shadow.
