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 light shines on a surface and an object blocks some of that light.
• Identify objects that are blocking light and their shadows. Understand that the shadows of two or more objects can make a combined shadow shape.
• Predict where a shadow will be visible, given a light source, object, and surface.
• Understand that a shadow’s size changes when the distance between the light source and the object changes.
• Describe how the shape of a shadow changes when a light source shines on different sides of an object.
• Understand how a shadow’s length and shape change when the position or angle of the light source changes.
Shadow Play 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. Children and teachers use the Shadows Journal to capture shadows they find and make with photographs, scavenger hunts, and a matching game.
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!
