We asked the question, "Do shadows stay the same all day?" ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-aidan-s-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2159.jpg) 20 March 2025 Today in Science, Year 3 continued their exploration of light by investigating shadows. We asked the question, "Do shadows stay the same all day?" and went outside to find out. By measuring the length and angle of a metre ruler's shadow at different times, the children observed that shadows change throughout the day. Ask your child/ren what they found out.
