Our Class conducted an awesome experiment with a Sun Tracker. We created a sun dial to find answers about the Sun, Earth and Shadows.
Here are some of our questions. Do you know the answers?
- Does the Sun move?
- How does the Sun cause shadows on Earth?
- What is the realtionship between the length and direction of a shadow and the sun? ****
- How do shadows help us tell what time of day it is? ****
- Why are there shadows inside a classroom with no windows?
- What would happen to shadows if the Earth stopped revolving around the Sun (winter versus summer)?****
Here are some pictures of our field experiment.
