Shadows Drawing Worksheet

Several pictured scenes pair an object with a visible light-source position. Several pictured situations show both an object and the location of its light source. Learners draw the missing shadow in a position consistent with that light direction. The task turns a verbal definition into spatial reasoning, requiring students to imagine the path of light and place the shadow on the opposite side of the object.
