Today, we traced shadows at the same time as Monday and compared how those shadows had moved. We noticed the the North / South shadows had moved considerably, but the East/West shadows had not really changed. Here are the analysis questions they are supposed to answer:
Shadow Lab Part 2 - Earth’s revolution around the sun
Tape or glue this onto page 2 or 3 of your science notebooks (any blank space). Answer the questions below.
As a class, we will draw lines at the same exact time as we did on Monday for both the required (East/West) shadow and the adjacent North/South shadow.

- How much did the East / West (required) shadow move? Compare this to how much it moved during the day on Monday.
- What does this tell us about the position of the sun in the sky compared to Monday?
- Where would you expect the shadow to be in another 5 days? A month? A year?
- How much did the North / South shadow move?
- What does this tell us about the position of the sun in the sky compared to Monday?
