Use this digital lesson as part of your teaching and learning sequence when completing a unit of work around the Earth’s rotation on its axis, which causes regular change.

Students will explore the sun as a source of light and complete an investigation into light and shadows. As students observe the movement and change in the shape of shadows, they will begin to make connections between night and day.

The lesson is then followed up with a worksheet to complement the concept.
