Use LEGO bricks to explore how shadows change.
- Fulfills Step 1 of GSUSA Daisy Space Science Explorer badge requirements.
Info Needed for Daisy Space Science: The sun looks like it moves across the sky because Earth is spinning. When we see the sun in the morning, our part of Earth is turning toward the light. At night, our part of Earth turns away from the sun. It looks like the sun has gone down. Shadows change during the day because the sun’s position in the sky changes.
Possible Projects:
- Lego Tower Shadows (20–30 min) – Build towers and observe how their shadows shift throughout the day.
- Lego Groundhog (20–30 min) – Create a LEGO groundhog and use it to explore shadow length and direction.
