SUNDIALS!

In math we have been making a sundial. we first made a slideshow on sundials here's mine


we then went to the workshop and made it . this took 2-3 lessons.

 this is mine

go to link for sound

I had a triangle gnomon (thing in the middle) but it did not work out so I changed it to have a pole 

cool facts about sundials

1. did you know that the gnomon [pronoused no-mon] comes from a greek word meaning indicator? (learn more at www.sciencing.com)

2.  did you know that the sundial works because of the rotation and movement of the sun? (learn more at www.easyscienceforkids.com

3. did you know the sundials are the oldest known way to tell the time? (learn more at www.kids.britannica.com)

we also made a slideshow on time here's mine

      Thanks again

    Hi, Michaela! It's Summer.
    I enjoyed reading your post, though, there are a few grammatical errors inside the post and it looks a bit bright in a few parts of it. I liked the video, too, but the camera just seemed a little too shaky and all over the place.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
