Science and Art: Making Shadows Printable (2nd Grade) - TeacherVision - Free Printable

Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific picture you’re referring to. However, based on the description of the worksheet titled "Making Shadows", I can guide you through how to solve this type of problem and explain the science behind it.

🌞 Understanding the Task:

The worksheet asks you to:
1. Look at the picture and notice where the sun is.
2. Circle each shadow that is in the correct place.
3. Mark an X through shadows that are not in the correct place.
4. Draw a shadow made by the bush.

This is a science and art activity that teaches how shadows form based on the position of the light source (the sun).

🔍 Step-by-Step Solution Guide:

#### 1. Locate the Sun
- In the image, there should be a small circle representing the sun in the sky.
- The position of the sun determines the direction of all shadows.
- Shadows always extend away from the sun, in the opposite direction.

> Example: If the sun is in the top right corner, shadows will point toward the bottom left.

#### 2. Check Each Shadow
Look at the shadows cast by:
- The house
- The tree
- The person
- The dog

For each object:
- Draw a line from the top of the object to the tip of its shadow.
- This line should point away from the sun.
- If the shadow is pointing toward the sun, it's wrong → mark with an X.
- If the shadow points away from the sun, it’s correct → circle it.

#### 3. Draw the Shadow of the Bush
- The bush is likely near the dog or house.
- To draw its shadow:
- Imagine a straight line from the sun to the top of the bush.
- Extend that line past the bush to the ground — that’s where the shadow ends.
- Draw a dark shape under the bush, extending in the direction away from the sun.

> ✔ Tip: Shadows are longer when the sun is low (morning/night) and shorter when the sun is high (noon).

🧠 Science Behind It:

- Shadows form when an object blocks light.
- The shape and direction of the shadow depend on:
- The position of the light source (sun)
- The shape and height of the object
- The angle of the sun determines the length and direction of the shadow.

✔ Final Answer (What You Should Do):

1. Identify the sun’s location — probably in the upper right.
2. Check each existing shadow:
- If it points away from the sun → ✔ Circle it
- If it points toward the sun → ✘ Mark an X
3. Draw a new shadow for the bush:
- Start from the base of the bush
- Extend it in the direction opposite the sun
- Make it proportional to the size of the bush

If you can describe the image (e.g., "the sun is in the top right, the house has a shadow going left, etc."), I can give you more specific feedback!
