| Portable Sundial |
Grades:6 - 8 |
|
Summary: In this activity students will investigate the accuracy of sundials and the descrepency that lies between real time and clock time. They will track the position of the sun over the course of a relatively short period of time as they make a shadow plot, a horizontal sundial, and a diptych sundial. The activity may be abridged to include only one or two of the different sundials, instead of all three. |
