Try to figure out what happens with shadows as a person moves between two light sources. A formative assessment lesson has individuals work on an assessment task based on similar triangles, then groups them based on their...

Students conduct an experiment. In this shadows lesson, students record the height of a meter stick. Students then cast shadows and record their length. Students compare the length of the shadow with the actual height of the meter stick.

Students pick different objects and measure the shadow they cast. In this geometry lesson, students experiment with shadows using a flashlight and an object to cast a shadow. They measure and differentiate between the shadow and the real...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the rate of change as it relates to height and length. This is a word problem with 3 specific math questions as to how Frank S. Key came up with the song "Me and My Shadow"

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

In this video, students take a quick trip through the history of drive-in theaters and are then asked to consider the question, "What is the relationship between the size of an object's shadow and the object's distance from a light...
