Have you got a shadow? When does it appear? When does it go away? We all have a shadow sometimes. When studying energy in science at school you will have investigated shadows. When a ray of light energy is blocked, there is a shadow. The shadow is darker, because there is less light. Let’s investigate shadows a bit more.
