Learning about Earth's rotation, light and shadows? In this Earth Science Shadow STEM, students create a shadow catcher to see how Earth's rotation effects shadows. Students use the engineering design process in this shadow activity to investigate, plan, create, improve, and evaluate their catcher. Observations and collected data is used to write a report on their findings. Leveled texts and writing prompts round out this jammed packed set! Next Generation Science Standards: NGSS 5-ESS1-2, 1-ESS
