SHADOWS Task Cards
Teach your students all about shadows using these task cards! The task cards challenge your students with questions about shadow length and direction, Earth's rotation, sunrise and sunset, time zones, and more! Included on several task cards are images of the time zones in the United States and a diagram of Earth showing sunrise. I like to use these as test review!
