Time for sunshine

This resource focusses on the making of a simple sundial which can be housed within the school grounds. This interactive and practical activity can be used to support learning of telling the time and to understand how light creates shadows. In this activity pupils will learn how to use the Sun to tell the time.  They will make a simple stick sundial in the school area, identify where the shadow is cast every hour and mark this with a stone and chalk.  The next day they can test their results to see if the sundial is accurate at telling the time.
