Yesterday we learned some new facts about the sun. Can you think of any other light sources?

Some sources of light are natural and some are man made.
Watch the video below to find out about different sources of light.

Shadows
- When an object blocks out light, we get a shadow. An object must be opaque (no light can pass through it) to create a shadow.
-Experiment with shadows using a torch- shine the torch at one of your toys and look for its shadow. Can you make the shadow bigger or smaller? How did you do it?
-You could do shadow experiments outside on a sunny day and use the sun as your source of light. Place a toy in the garden and look at its shadow. Does the shadow stay in the same place all day? Why do you think this is?
