Science

Shadow experiment

A shadow theatre company wants to project a giant in their next production and they need to know how to make the biggest shadow possible from a puppet they have already got.

You will need to investigate the factors that affect the size of a shadow.

Use a torch or a light source (lamp, etc.) and a pre-cut shape as your puppet. You will need to investigate how the distance from the screen affects the height of the shadow.

Record the variable you will keep the same, the variables you will change and what you will measure. Create your own table and ensure you measure precisely.

For more information, go to the blog and watch the video by Brian Cox about the experiment (which is below this). Alternatively, the link can also be found here https://www.stem.org.uk/resources/elibrary/resource/315603/what-factors-affect-size-shadow-shadow-theatre

Challenge 1: can you take repeat findings and find the mean? You will need to repeat your experiment 2 or 3 times to generate the mean. If you would like to you could use a different light source or use a different room.

Challenge 2: if you want to create a line graph, please do! Can you find any patterns in the way that the size of shadows change?
