Shadow Puppets

In class we have been investigating which materials are the best for making shadow puppets. We took various materials and shone a torch into them to see if a shadow appeared. We noticed that some materials were transparent, others were translucent and some were opaque. We found that opaque materials are the best at forming shadows. We then made our shadow puppets from black card and practiced and performed some well known fables like “The Hare and the Tortoise”. Take a look at the photos of our show.
