Science @ Home - Sundial

 

What? Learn about the superpower of time by making your own sundial!

How? Look through the slides below to find out how. 

Reflect: You might notice that the shadow gets longer and shorter throughout the day. At what time of day do you think that the shadow will be shortest, and why? 

Do you have a daily routine or something you look forward to, like Nanogirl’s cookie time? Mark these times on your sundial and use it to figure out how long you have to wait until the next task. 


Do you think you could use your sundial at night? What other shapes other than a triangle could you use to cast a shadow on your sundial? What if you replaced it with a paper straw, would that work?


Share: Share a photo of your sundial in the Science padlet. Remember to write your name and hub on your post.
