Glow stick disco to introduce our Shadows topic for science

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 3 Year: 2016 - 2017

To launch our Science topic 'How far can you throw your shadow.' We had a glow stick disco. This introduced light and dark, which we need to create a shadow. Following our disco, we watched 'Attraction' the shadow puppeteers from Britains Got Talent and then investigated how we could change the size of a shadow and which objects cast the darkest shadows, transparent, translucent or opaque.
