About this worksheet
A Year 6 science cloze on shadows, written for the England National Curriculum. Pupils fill twelve numbered gaps in four paragraphs from a bank of fourteen words. Curved and reflects are the two spares, so pupils must think rather than guess. The text moves from light sources and rays to opaque objects, then the shadow's shape, and ends with a transparent material and an object moved closer to the torch. A labelled diagram of a torch, a wooden sphere and a screen sits halfway through. Two questions close the sheet, and the answer key lists the words in gap order.
