The Figure 1 photo was eye-opening to me, as I realized I'd never fully grasped the relationship between a cast shadow and a self shadow. The concept of a self shadow can help clear up a student misconception that the phases of the moon are caused by the Earth's shadow. I also appreciated the activities that reinforced this concept! This was a great read.
