Shadow Races
With the shortened days, it is easy to see the changes that
light makes on the world around us. In a way, shadows are moving faster that
they would in the summer. This week try to see how fast shadows move. In the
morning take note of where the shadow from your favorite tree starts.
Throughout the day check on your tree's shadow, is it moving faster than any of
the other trees' shadows? With the sun going down earlier and the nights
getting longer, it should be easy to see a whole day's worth of Shadow Races in
your own backyard.
Also try this! In the morning, stand on the sidewalk or
driveway while someone traces your shadow. Come back to the same spot at lunch
and before dinner. Trace your shadow again each time to see how the shapes
change throughout the day.
