Description

This app is designed for children to to strengthen their science investigation skills and explore the concepts of shadows as they:
• Understand that a shadow is seen when a light shines on a surface and an object blocks some of that light.
• Identify objects that are blocking light and their shadows.
• Understand that shadows can be made using different sources of light, including natural lights (like the sun) and those made by people (like lamps and flashlights).
• Describe how the shape of a shadow changes when a light source shines on different sides of an object.
• Observe how a shadow is different when cast on one surface or multiple surfaces.
• Understand that a shadow’s size changes when the distance between the light source and an object changes.
• Understand how a shadow’s length and shape change when the position or angle of the light source changes.
• Make predictions and carry out experiments about how a shadow will change when the light source's distance, position, or angle change.
The Shadows Journal and the entire Shadows curriculum supplement from Early Science with Nico & Nor™ was rigorously researched and developed specifically for preschool classroom use. The Shadows unit contains two apps: Shadow Play and the Shadows Journal. In Shadow Play, children help put on a shadow theater show and discover how shadows change location, size, and shape.
Each Early Science with Nico & Nor curriculum supplement combines traditional classroom activities with digital learning to promote young children’s engagement with age-appropriate science practices and concepts during circle time, learning centers, read-aloud book sessions, snack time, and outdoor play!
