    1) The student performed an activity to observe the shape of shadows cast by spherical objects. 2) The shadow formed was a rounded upside-down triangle shape, somewhat supporting Aristotle's claim that the Earth is heart-shaped. 3) If the Earth was actually heart-shaped, the shadow it would cast when the sunlight was aligned with the front of the heart shape would also be heart-shaped.

    Activity No. 1
    And the Shape Is
    I. Introduction
    I like my shadow; it reminds me that I exist. There is no light without shadow, just
    as there is no happiness without pain. Where there is light, there must be shadow, and
    where there is shadow there must be light. There is no shadow without light and no light
    without shadow.
    By completing this activity, we will find out the shape of the shadow.

    II. Materials
    1. Actual Flashlight or use the flashlight app of the mobile phone (if both
    materials are not readily available, you may use a lighted candle Caution: Be
    sure to put off the candle immediately after use)
    2. Two spherical objects; 1-big, 1-small (alternative: make your own balls using
    crumpled used papers ;1-big, 1-small)
    3. ruler
    III. Procedure
    1. Align the flashlight and the balls horizontally.
    2. Point the flashlight to one of the balls.
    3. Observe the shadow it casts on the ball behind it.
    Note: Perform the activity in a darkened room or during night time.

    IV. Results and Discussion
    Guide Questions

    1. What is the shape of the shadow?

     Its shape looks like a heart but not totally formed, it’s like an upside down triangle
    but a little bit rounded.

    2. In what way that this simple activity supports Aristotle’s claim about the shape of
    the Earth?

     The shadow form like a heart shape that supports Aristotle’s claim about the shape
    of Earth but not totally the same.

    3. Supposed that the Earth is heart shape, what shadow would it formed when
    sunlight is aligned with it? Why?

     The shadow would form like a rounded upside-down triangle and the light is
    aligned with the front part of a heart-shaped Earth, then its shadow is also heart
    shape.

    V. Conclusion

     The 2 balls were placed horizontally in a darkened room during night time and
    pointed the flash light to the first ball that was placed in front (small). I observed
    the shadow formed and it turned out to be a rounded upside-down triangle that
    somehow supporters the claim of Aristotle about the shape of the Earth because
    according to Aristotle, the shape of the Earth refers to a heart.
