Worksheet The Shadow

This document contains a table measuring the length of shadows at different times of the day and questions about observations from the experiment. The purpose is to investigate the relationship between time of day and shadow length. Observations show that shadow length is longest at 8 am and 4 pm, shortest at midday, and around 10m at 10 am and 2 pm. This is because the sun is highest in the sky at midday when shadows are shortest, and the angle between the sun's rays and the ground is largest at 8 am and 4 pm, producing longer shadows. The length of the shadow at 3 pm can be predicted to be around 10m based on the pattern. The conclusion is that shadow length varies inversely with the sun's
