This activity supports learners to investigate ways of measuring sunshine and how shadows change throughout the day. Learners will design and carry out an investigation into what happens to a persons shadow at different times in the day. They'll also observe the amount of sunshine throughout a day, record their findings and evaluate the validity of the method they used. The guidance has many discussion questions so learners actively come to their own conclusions.
