Substrand: "2.5 Shadows" (20 periods)

Shadows form whenever light cannot pass through an object. The size, shape, position and direction of a shadow changes as a result of the position of the sun in the sky. The shadow you form in the morning sun is much longer and lies on one side (westerly direction) than one that forms at around noon which lies directly below you and is smaller.
