Today you have taken part in an investigation learning about how shadows are formed. Answer the questions below sharing the knowledge you have learnt.
How are shadows formed?
How can you affect the size of a shadow?
How does a shadow change depending on whether an object is opaque, transparent or translucent?
1) Shadows are formed by an opaque object that blocks light that tries to go through the object.
2) You can affect the size of the shadow depending on how far away or close you flash the light.💡
3) A shadow changes if the sun faces north, East, South and west. Hadiya camas I Subodh.
Does the sun move or is it something else?
How are shadows formed? Shadows are formed by an object that is blocking the light .
How can you affect the size of a shadow? The more smaller the little the more far it is the bigger it is.
How does a shadow change depending on whether an object is opaque, transparent or translucent?
For transparent light goes through because it’s see through
For translucent light can go through a little bit
For opaque light can’t go through
Mustafa Haroon Rayan ameena
The more smaller the little the more far it is the bigger it is. Please correct this senence so that it makes sense.
(Rexford) shadows are formed by light the reason is because your shadow can reflect light and absord light.
(Yasmin) so when my hand is close to the tabel my hand show’s but when my hand is far
it does not show.
(Team) a shadow changes when a tranperent object what we mean is that transparent objects dont really make a shadow but transparent object make a shadow but not really clear. Opaque objects can make a shadow.
Rex,Kitan,EvaH and Yasmin
Can a shadow reflect light Rexford?
Yasmin – please rewrite your sentence.
I think this whole response needs work. Please can Rex, Kitan, Eva H and Yasmin post individual responses.
1, Shadow is a form by a opaque object.
2, You use a object and use a light and the farther the light the smaller the shadow.
3, If is a opaque object the object will be cannot see through if is a transparent you can see through and translucent you can see some things but not clearly.
Ebnezere Safa Nabiha Hishaam
What does the opaque object do to make the shadow?
Shadows are formed by shining light on an opaque surface in a dark space.
To make a shadow bigger or smaller you need to get a light source in a shop to get a thing and pointing next to it close it makes it big and to make small you need to do it far.
The shadow will not appear when it is translucent or transparent but if it is opaque with light shining on it in a dark space.
Can you give me some examples of transparent, translucent and opaque objects?

1. Shadows are formed by light because if you had an opaque object and you put it near light it will make a shadow but the opaque object will block the light.
2. If the object is close to a wall it’ll be small however if it is further it’ll be bigger.
3. It is usually not sunny when it is raining so their would not be any shadows transparent means you can see through it and translucent means it’s fogs so a little bit of light will go through Opaque means you can not see through it.
Can you give me some examples of transparent, translucent and opaque objects you found during your investigations?
A cube is opaque.
A plastic bag is translucent.
A window is transparent.
Arjun,aadam Eva t
Hamida,Maya,Alya and Rahim
1. Shadows are formed when an object blocks or absorbs the light.
2. You can effect the shadow by putting the light farther away or closer.
3. Objects that are opaque are : paper, pencil ,book ,tissue ,calendar and stamp.
Objects that are translucent are: water bottle, plastic cup , glue stick, pen case and ruler.
Objects that are transparent are : lolly jar and glass.
Why might we need translucent materials?
For bathrooms so people can’t see your private parts.
Good idea!
Adrian, Vanessa, Ranj and Muhammad O
Shadows are formed from light. If the object is closer to the light then the shadow is bigger but if it is far away then there would be less shadow. If it is transparent then there is less light but if it is a translucent object it is more then transparent objects,but opaque objects you can see shadow clearly.
What time of day did we say shadows are shortest and why?
Midday because the sun is directly above us
The closer to the light sorce an object is,the bigger the shadow will be
Sidra shumiyah fatima
Shadows are formed by a person or by a object by a torch
ESA
By a small or big object also if you go close to a object
it will be very small,
TASNEEM,NEDA
1. Shadows are formed by a light source shining on an object.
2.If you go back the shadow bigger if you go forwards it gets smaller.
Toleen, Alisha and Ahyam
1. Shadow is formed by an tourch,sun reflection or light and when the light reflects on an object it creates a shadow.
2. It depends on how the light goes close to the object and how far away from the object
Long Muhammed-Hasanat-Adnan-Preston-khan

1 Shadows are made light so when a object is blocked the light and it makes a shadow
Shadows are formed by light hitting it but you block it and also by sun light it hits something and it goes of that and it makes a shadow
1: it is formed by blocking the light from the person
2:yes you can the closer the light source an object, is the bigger the shadow will be.this is because the object blocks more of the light.the futher away from the light source an object is ,the smaller the shadow will be
3: if the object is opaque it will not create a shadow. If it is transparent it will create a big shadow. If it is translucent it will create a little shadow
Nick,Sandra and Ebun
1.When a opaque object goes infront of a light it creates a shadow
2.The closer the light is to the object the shadow gets smaller.The further the light is to the object the shadow gets bigger.
3.opaque objects make shadows because it blocks the light.Translucent objects make a little shadow because the light goes through a little bit of the object.Transparent objects make no shadows because all the light goes through the transparent object
Shadow are formed by an object that blocks the light.
If you bring the light source closer it makes the shadow bigger.
It changes by if it is translucent it does make a shadow if it is transparent it doesn’t make a shadow if it is opaque it makes a shadow.
Shadow are formed when a object its dark and point light at it then it will make a shadow because it blocks the light.
When the light is bigger the shadow goes bigger but is gets less clear to see and if it is smaller it more black.
Shadows are formed by light
Get away from it
Shine it on a object to check if it’s opaque, transparent, translucent
MuhammedH, HalimaK, Dean-Junior-Lindsey-groves
Abigail 1) shadows are formed by light blocking it’s way.
Kinza 2) it depends how you are moving the objects.
Zainullah 3) It can change by opaque it turns dark , translucent turns even less darker and transparent can not make any shadow.
1. Shadows are formed by light because when a opaque object goes into light.
2. You can make your shadow bigger by putting the light closer to the opaque object .
3. If your object is transperant you might get no shadow or a little shadow if your object is translucent it might make a small or big shadow and if your object is opaque it might make a big or bigger shadow.
Shadows are formed by light shining on to an opaque object.
You can make a bigger shadow by moving the object and the flashlight.
It changes because opaque you can’t see through so it’s darker, transparent only some light can go through so it’s not to dark so you can see it still but if it is translucent you can’t see a shadow. Hasan rayan and Jebrin.
Well done. Can shadows form when you shine light onto objects which are not opaque e.g. a water bottle?
Yes because it’s a little opaque but you can see through but it is not as dark as opaque.
1. Shadows are formed when their is an opaque object and then light goes on to the opaque object then a shadow comes .
2. The further the opaque object then the shadow gets bigger and bigger .
3. If you have an transparent or translucent object when light goes on to the object it won’t be a shadow but if you have a opaque object it will make a shadow .
Very good Orange table. The further away from what?
Shemaiah:
Shadows are formed when a object is used to block the light and form a shadow.
Ariyan:
If your hand is closer the shadow is bigger and if your hand is not closer than is smaller.
Javishan:
If an object is opaque it can a make a shadow.
Well done. How does the size of the shadow change?
If a shadow is close it’s short if it’s far away is bigger
1.Shadows are formed by an object or person blocking light and then a shadow is created.
2.You can make a shadow bigger by shining light closer to it but if you shine it from a far distance then it will be small.
3.If you use a transparent object it will be very difficult to see the shadow ,if it is translucent it is not very hard to see but it is opaque then you can see the shadow of the object very easily.
Great job Green table! Name 3 objects which are transparent.
The 3 objects that are opaque is a book , pencil and pen.
By Sumayyah , Zak and Hamaad
1.Shadows are formed by light getting blocked and reflects however, it depends on how opaque the object is or how transparent the item is.
2. You can affect the shadows by the fact of how far away the item is.
3. If it is translucent it won’t show very boldly if it is opaque it would shine very bold but if it is transparent it would only show the outline
Well done Red table. If you bring the light source closer to the object, what will happen to the shadow size?
If we bring the light source closer please to the object it will become bigger and more blurry.
Abdelraham and Charis
1.Shadows are formed by when light reflects on a object which creates a shadow.
2. It would depend on how close the light is and how far the light is.
3. If it is transparent it will go through if it is opaque it will absorb the light if it is translucent light will go through but you will not see where it is going.
1)When a hard thing or opaque thing put in the way of light and light can’t pass through it and reflect back and make its shadow.
2)If you put the light source close to the object the shadow will be bigger. And if u put the light at some distance the shadow will be smaller.
3)An opaque object will make a shadow because it will not let the light pass through it but transparent thing will not make a shadow because light can easily pass through it.
