Using Ratios To Estimate Shadow Lengths
The students will be able to create a height to length of shadow ratio for the different times of day and estimate the length of shadow of various tall objects at specific times by using the ratio found. The students will be able to measure the length of your shadow by using a ruler/measuring tape, observe how your shadow’s length varies throughout the day, collect data your height, the length of your shadow, and the time of day. create a ratio of height to length of shadow based on the data collected, and use ratio to estimate the length of various tall objects’ shadows.
