Understanding Shadows: A Lesson on Light and Direction by Charles Haffey

In this educational exploration, Charles Haffey of Norwood Public Schools demonstrates how shadows are cast by the sun's movement. As the Earth rotates to the east, the sun appears to travel westward across the sky. Understanding the relationship between the sun's position at different times—rising in the east, reaching its peak in the south, and setting in the west—helps students grasp the concepts of light, shadow, and direction. Caution is advised, as the compass may appear upside-down in this environment.
