Score 3.0 The student will: observe and describe the changes in the length of a shadow over time and infer how position of the Sun affects the length of the shadow explain how shadows could be used to tell the time of day The student exhibits no major errors or omissions. Mark the position of shadows cast by a stick over the course of a few hours, and infer how the Sun has moved during that time.
