    A shadow is a light source that shines onto an area and a blackness appears.
    To change the size of a shadow you move the light source closer or further away from the area or object.

    A shadow is a dark figure.
    A shadow is formed by blocking light.
    When you move a torch closer the shadow gets bigger when you move it further it gets smaller.

    A Shadow is light shining on a opaque object which creates a shadow.
    A shadow is formed by light hitting either a opaque or translucent object.
    You can take it further or closer

    A shadow is a dark figure or item blocking light.
    A shadow is made when light comes and an opaque item blocks it.
    You change the size of a shadow by moving it closer or further away.

    A shadow is a light that follows everywhere you go. It could be a light from objects to.
    Shadows are formed with light such as torches, the moon and a lamp
    You can change the size of a shadow by, moving it around till you get the size you want.

    A shadow is something that needs light and then there should the same thing but black behind it.
    Shadows are formed from light and a item that does not have light.
    So you can have different items like big or small then it will become that size.

    A shadow is a thing that shines when it’s dark only.
    If a shadow is opaque there will be shadow if it is transparent there will be no shadow.
    You move it forward to the torch 🔦 light if you want to make it small bigger.

    A shadow is an area of shade.
    It’s when natural light source hits a surface.
    To make a bigger shadow you have to go forward.

    A shadow is when something opaque gets some light and you see your reflection.Shadows are formed with some light and a opaque object.
    You need to move the light up and down so the light gets bigger and smaller.
