It's so cute how some of them TOTALLY fudged the date. One kid had the shadows getting longer all through the day from start to finish. Another kid had a shadow at one point of 3" ????

They don't all know it's measured on the ground and many have no idea it changes size during the day. Hard to believe an entire class has never stepped on another kid's shadow. They didn't play outside as little kids, so they miss all sorts of "basic" knowledgetrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670567206246999417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-87423870551644035022013-01-23T05:00:10.527-06:002013-01-23T05:00:10.527-06:00Eeee.

ON THE GROUND and not floating in the air"! Is that too much to ask? :).

So issues we encountered were not using flat ground and trying to get an accurate measure of your own shadow. Still a cool thing to try.Fall Garlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006415415564057894noreply@blogger.com
