Investigating shadows

Does a shadow get longer or shorter the closer an object is to a light source?  

Year 6 set about finding out the answer to this question.  We designed an investigation to measure how the length of a shadow changes depending on the distance of an object from a light source.  We had to ensure it was a fair test by keeping everything the same, except the distance of the object from the light source.

What are your ideas on how a shadow changes depending on its distance from a light source?
