Objective: Recognize how light and shadow relate to the time of day or night in different cities of the world
Procedures: “Today, we are going to learn about light and shadow and the role they play in our everyday life. Did you know that light and shadow help us to know what time of day it is?”
●       Adjust the light in the classroom such that subtleties between light and shadow are apparent to students.
●       Using a spherical globe and a strong flashlight. Point the flashlight directly on a city/country.
●       Students identify the time of day or night in different cities of the world by the amount of light or darkness they perceive in those places.
○       Probe students as to why shadows appear in some areas and not others.
●       Teacher leads students through one example in student workbook ‘Observation - Prediction - Result’ chart.
●       Options to select one or two additional cities for students to investigate and record their results.
