Human Sundials

We hadn't started our Sound & Light inquiry yet, but as I looked across the weather in the next month, there wasn't a sunny day in sight except for Friday.
We needed a sunny day for our Human Sundial experiment, so I needed to take advantage of the weather!
Several times throughout the day we headed outside and recorded information about our shadows and the position of the sun in the sky.

 We traced each other's shadows.

 We noticed where the sun was in the sky with relation to the school.

 We measured how many fists high in the sky the sun was.

 Finally, we measured the length of our shadows.

We were surprised by the changes in our shadows when we headed out two hours later!

 Then we traced and recorded our information again.

The next time we went out was around noon.  We thought it was so funny that our shadows were so short and fat!
It was so much fun to record our shadows!
