Today I have learnt to create a sundial. A sundial is a device that tells time by the shadow that's been casts from the sun.
First I watched a short video of Nanogirl creating a sundial. I also listened to what materials she used so I could look for them after.
Next I sorted my materials like paper , pencil, tape, and a drawing compass. I changed some materials because I didn't have it or I had something similar to it like to drawing compass.
Lastly I constructed my sundial and I also put what I'm going to do in that time.
I found this activity fun because I never created one of these before.
Tēnā koe Chisa, this is Elle from the Summer Learning Journey team.
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing the Nanogirl Sundial challenge! I really like that you’ve included your process for creating the sun-dial and what you enjoyed about the activity. I think I might have a go at making one myself!
Have you tested out in the sunshine yet today? It would be so cool to see how the sunlight casts a shadow on the dial at different times of the day!
Unfortunately this photo is quite blurry, so I can’t see what you’ve written on your dial! Do you think you would be able to take another photo and upload it to your blog so I can see your writing?
Otherwise, great work Chisa and I’m looking forward to seeing your future blog posts!
