Before we had watches, man sundials time show. Make a simple Sundial with heavy cardboard. A 18? square of cardboard cut out. Thus will the Gnomon (the upwards-pointing part of the Sundial), a 8? square of cardboard cut out. Cut a piece of ½? from a corner. Close the two sides of ½? to make the fold. Fold the square in the Center will create a triangle shape. Glue the flaps of the Gnomon to the Center on one side of the big box space.

To calibrate the dial, You?ll the Gnomon in the South to above point (using a compass) Orient. Watch the Sundial, every hour and mark a line on the box on the edge of the shadow by the Gnomon converted. Note the Bell next to the line. The Sundial, to the next sunny day time a watch place! Make sure that you keep the Sundial in the same place every day.

Another great activity is there, so prints. You?ll have dark colored construction paper and distinctive shaped objects such as keys, small toys, or cut out letters or shapes from black paper. Place them on the colored paper at random and let the whole day in the Sun. The colored paper except for the areas of the objects is faded at the end of the day.
