Observation des ombres

Lorsque la lumière éclaire un objet, elle crée une forme sombre derrière lui.

Cette forme sombre s'appelle une ombre.

Les ombres changent en fonction de la lumière. Si la lumière est proche de l'objet, l'ombre estplus grande. Si la lumière est lointaine, l'ombre est plus petite. Un même objet peut projeterplusieurs ombres si on l'illumine avec plusieurs sources lumineuses.

Différents objets créent différents types d'ombres. Essaie de créer des ombres en utilisant desobjets créés à partir d'éléments différents. Braque une torche sur un verre d'eau, un livre ou unfilet, puis regarde comment les ombres changent.
