Can a shadow move?

Harry drew around his shadow to find out. When Harry drew around his shadow in the morning it was behind him. Now it is the afternoon and his shadow has moved. The shadow is also much smaller.

Harry told me that this is because the earth turns around which makes the sun move across the sky. When the sun moves so does our shadow.


Look at how we investigated shadows moving inside the classroom on a rainy day.


We shone a torch at the doll and the stick. When we moved the torch around the shadow moved too.
