Bonus Activity: You can safely study how the Sun moves by watching shadows. On a sunny day, find an object in your home that is in full sunlight. Look to see if it’s making a shadow. Then, use two stickers to mark the edges of the shadow. Wait an hour. Look again. Where is the shadow now? Where are the stickers? If you have time, check the shadow every hour to see what happens!
