Science

Over the last few weeks Room 11 has been investigating what causes day and night. We have been participating in activities which allowed us to observe how the Earth rotates around the Sun, causing day and night. We have been exploring how shadows are created and looked at how they change throughout the day, as the Earth rotates.

Room 11 has been planning an investigation to find out what happens to the shadow of a stick throughout the day. We will be observing what happens to the length and direction of the shadow and measuring how it has changed every hour throughout the day.
