Welcome back to another post with Nanogirl! Today we built a Sundial. Do you know what a Sundial is? A sundial is what people used before analogue and digital clocks were created.
Nanogirl taught me how to make one out of cardboard:
And here is a video on how to use a sundial:

Afternoon Maddison
ReplyDeleteWhat a great activity. It is so great seeing creations being made to replicate the way things were done before technology came along. I would be great to see if your sun dial works. Is it easy to read? What challenges did you find with this activity.

Hey Maddison,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the sundial activity, I’ve really enjoyed seeing what you and the other students have made this summer. You’ve explained how the sundial works and how to use it well too, the sundial is a really interesting piece of technology that is really simple in design but clever in its use.
It’s really interesting to learn about how people in the past did things and how their lives differed from ours.
Make sure to put it somewhere around the house that gets lots of direct sunlight without other sources of light around it to confuse the shadows outside is best.
Nice work Maddison
