Title Light and Shadow
I-Background Information/Introduction
Hello learner! This time you have come to learn that as the sun rises in the morning, or sets in the afternoon, it
is low on the horizon, and its light rays are slanted as they hit the ground, so longer shadows are formed.
II - Learning Competency with Code

Describe the changes in the position and length of shadows in the surroundings as the position of the Sun
changes S4ESIVh-9
III- Essential Concepts/Knowledge with Examples

Playing with shadows
Materials Needed:
One (1) meter bamboo pole Meter stick Compass
4 pieces 1 ft bamboo pegs Manila paper Hammer
Marker Wrist watch
Activity 1 - What to do:

1. Post one meter bamboo pole on your home ground.
2. Locate the East and West direction in your place with a compass.
3. Observe the position of the sun during the designated time.
4. Measure the length of the shadow formed by the pole at the designated time of the day. See the
table below for the designated time. Mark the length of each shadow with a peg.
5. Calculate the difference between the actual length of the bamboo and the shadows formed at
different times of the day.
Record your observations on the table below.

Time Actual length of pole (cm)

8:00 AM
10:00 AM
12:00 noon
2:00 PM
When the sun is high or nearly above the horizon, the sunlight strikes the ground at nearly a right angle, so
shorter shadows are formed.
When the sun is directly above the horizon, the light rays of the sun strike directly above the objects so
no visible shadow is seen on the ground since the shadow of the entire body would fit in its footprints.
The changes in the position and length of shadows in the surroundings depend on the angle at which the
sunlight strikes the object to the ground.
IV. Learning Activities

Directions: Answer the following questions based on what you have observed in Activity 1.
Guide Questions:
1. Describe the pole's shadow at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12 noon and2:00 PM.
___________________________________________________________________________________
______________ ________________________________________________________________.
2. At what time is the shadow of the pole longest? Why is this so?
__________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________.
3. At what time is the shadow shortest? Why?

___________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________.
4. What did you observe with the position and length of shadows at different times of the day?
___________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________.
5. What have you noticed about its position at different times of the day? Did it stay in one place
throughout the day?________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
6. What do you think would likely happen when you continue to measure the shadow of the pole until
the sun had set at 6:00 PM? Do you think the pole forms its shadow? Why?___________________
_____________________________________________________________________
V - ASSESSMENT:
Directions: A. Read each statement and put an O on the box before the number if it is TRUE and an X mark if
it is FALSE.
1. The sun is not a source of light.
2. Light travels through transparent objects/ materials.
3. The shadow of the object is larger when the object is near to the light source.
4. At sunset, the shadow of an object is the shortest.
5. At sunrise, the shadow of an object is the shortest.
Directions: B. Read each statement, then put if the statement is correct and if the statement is incorrect,
encircle the word that makes it incorrect.
1. Fire is another source of light.
2. We can only see things when there is light.
3. Light cannot travel through transparent materials.
4. Shadows are the same size with the object blocking the light.
5. Shadows are the same shape with the object blocking the light.
VI - Reflection:
Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct answers. Use the terms inside the box to complete the paragraph.
As the sun rises in the morning or sets in the afternoon, it is (1) _______ in the horizon, and its light rays are (2)
__________ as they hit the ground so (3) _______ shadows are formed. When the sun is high or nearly above
