My son is in 2nd grade and has to do a shadow box for a science project. How do you make one?

What exactly is a shadow box? My son needs to make one to display animals habitat that he is interested in.|||The Instant Shadowbox with fabric backing comes with pins that allow you to pin objects in place to display the items for your son





you can find one easy here

|||You can use a shoe box...turned up on it%26#039;s side (the bottom of the box becomes the back of your shadow box) so you can glue items into it. Use plastic animals to stand in the box...and glue pictures of the habitat to the sides and back of the box. Your son can even color pictures to hang in it! These are fun projects where he can use lots of creativity!|||get a box, cut a square hole in one side and cover it from the inside with grease proof paper, from inside the box, place a light that shines onto the paper, then you place a card animal cutout on the greaseproof paper (from the inside) it will create a shadow on the outside... this is a shadow box.

You can cut the front out, leave the back , two sides and the bottom so everyone can see. Good luck with it.|||Not sure about your school, but my kids used to go to go to someplace like hobby lobby and we would buy 3X5%26#039; sheets of hard card stock or styrofoam sheets, connect them with tape so they looked like a sheet of paper folded in thirds, and then when slightly folded they would stand up. The experiment hypothesis, methods, and conclusion were written on paper attached to the inside and the experiment itself could stand in front. As they became older, my husband just made a reusable one out of plywood with hinges. Good luck.|||sounds similar to a diorama...





when I was little I always used shoe boxes for this. use the lid (upside down) as the base, and turn the box on its side inside the lid so it looks like a little set to put stuff. good luck!|||Your best bet is to find a shoe box. Take off the top and turn the box on its side. He uses the inside of the box to decorate or demonstrate his project. |||http://www.expertvillage.com/video-serie...|||you use a shoe box and make a model of an animals habitat... i think well that%26#039;s what i did in 2nd grade.|||I would just tell your son to tell his teacher his dog ate his homework
