Lesson Title: LENGTH OF SHADOWS AS THE POSITION OF THE SUN CHANGES
Learning Competency: Describe the changes in the position and length of shadows in the surroundings as
the position of the sun changes ( S4ES-IV-h-9)
Reference: Module 6 SCIENCE LAS No.:
Q4-Week 6

DISCUSSION Remember These

 Light rays travel in a straight line. When light is blocked with an object, shadow will be formed.
 In the morning, as the sun rises or sets in the afternoon, it is low on the horizon, its light rays are slanted
as they hit the ground, longer shadows are formed. When the sun is high or nearly above the horizon, the
sunlight strikes the ground at nearly a right angle so a shorter shadow is formed. When the sun is directly
above the horizon, the light rays of the sun strike directly above the object so no visible shadow is seen on
the ground since the shadow of the entire body would fit in the 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.
 Difficult word: Horizon - the line where the earth seems to meet
A. Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and False if not. D
________ Light rays travel in a zigzag line.
