Shadow puppets

One of the unit's in Kaitlyn's science class was learning about light. She learned about things that are transparent, translucent, and opaque. To illustrate something that is translucent, Kaitlyn and William got to make a Shadow puppet theater. We stretched a white sheet across some PVC pipes, which as you know, we have in abundance, and put a lamp behind it. (You can also stretch it across chairs) For the pupets, you just cut out some distinct shapes of animals, people etc., and glue them to a popsicle stick. Here's a few pics of the fun.
