This Grade 1 light and shadows sheet asks first graders to explore how light travels in straight lines and how shadows form. Students complete nine fill-in sentences about shadow size, direction, and shape, then match four objects to their matching shadow descriptions. The page strengthens reasoning about light sources, blocking, and how distance changes the size of shadows on a wall.
