Description
Light and shadows are easy to take for granted, but when you look closely you will notice amazing qualities. Shadows change shape and grow. Lights become dimmer and brighter. They affect our mood. In this multi-day lesson plan, students will engage in a scientific investigation: exploring the qualities of light and shadow, making observations, and taking measurements. They will also examine the ways that artists use light and shadow to compose artwork and affect emotion, and they will create their own original visual art project. Students will practice STEAM skills, draw conclusions, write an artist statement, and then share their findings and their creative work.

CCSS1.MD.A.1
Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
CCSS1.MD.A.2
Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps.
CCSS2.MD.A.1
Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.
CCSS2.MD.A.4
Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.
CCSS3.MD.B.4
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units-whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
