ABOUT THIS GAME
This word sort activity helps students understand shadow formation through different materials. Students sort 12 objects based on whether they make strong or weak shadows. Using common items like doors, curtains, and glass, the activity helps young learners understand how materials affect shadow formation. This hands-on classification exercise aligns with NGSS 1-PS4-3 and makes concepts about light and shadows more concrete through practical examples.
