Students learn how objects cast shadows and how the size of a shadow changes depending on the distance between the light source and the object. This chapter builds important visual and spatial awareness, helping children recognize basic 2D and 3D shapes from their outlines. While Class 2 board assessments rely on continuous internal evaluation rather than heavy exams, this topic frequently appears in formative assessments through shape-matching and shadow-identification activities.
