Children will problem solve how to make a shadow when provided with a light source, a blank surface, and objects to place in front of the light source.

Interactive Lesson

Provide easily graspable items (e.g., larger/softer items).

• Provide least to most intrusive prompts before modeling how to create a shadow (e.g., use a gesture prompt, then verbal, then model).
• Provide visuals for children to communicate ideas and make choices.
