Learning About Shadows

  1. Are you afraid of shadows? What do you do when you are afraid?
  2. Fun Fact: Do you know how shadows are formed? They are formed because light travels in a straight line. When an opaque (not transparent) object blocks it, it does not allow the light to pass through. The light rays will then go past the outline of the edges of the object, hence making an outline, which results in a shadow being formed.
