Kid Minds has produced a great, free to subscribers, resource for kids ages 4 to 9 to learn about shadows.
The unit study has information on what a shadow is, books, videos, songs and poems about shadows and a bunch of fun activities and experiments for learning more about shadows.
Some of the activities include following a shadow through the day, drawing shadows, shadow puppets, making a sundial, learning about refraction and more.
In all there are four experiments and eight activities, as well as information on further resources to expand your study.
This unit study is available free for subscribers, and other resources will be developed in time, so go check it out.
And if you have any ideas you’ve used to teach kids about shadows, I’d love to know about them!
