==Key Stage 2==
===Meaning===
A '''shadow''' is a dark area caused by an object blocking the [[light]].
===About Shadows===
: A shadow can be caused by an [[Opacity|opaque]] object blocking the light from any light source like the sun, or a light bulb.
===Note for Teachers===
In year 7 students frequently answer the following question incorrectly:
Only the sun can cause shadows: True or False? It is unclear where this misconception comes form but teachers should take special care to ensure students consider this question thoughtfully.
