Investigating shadows by Joe and Harry



We found out that the earlier and later in the day, the longer the
shadow will be . If we were going to do the ingestion the again we
would change it by measuring the angle of the sun accurately. When it
was 7am the shadow was longer than it was at 10:30 because the two
reasons listed :
When the sun light is closer to the ground the object has more light
to block to create a shadow.
when it gets to 12'oclock it is harder to make a shadow because your
head is blocking the light and it is not at an angle.
