Sundials

Sundials

Did you know that sundials tells you the time like a clock when there is sunlight in the position of the sundial. I found out that when the sun shines on the sundial, it casts shadow that appear on different positions on the sundial. I did not know that when the sun is the highest in the sky it casts short shadow of the stick and the longer shadow of the stick when the sun is low in the sky.


 


I didn't know how to make a sundial at the first place
I found out that the mathematician and astronomer Theodosius of Bithynia was the one who invented the sundials

How I made it:
We made our sundial by cutting a wood until it look like a hexagon but cut in half and then glued the gnomon on the bottom middle

What I learnt:
I've learnt how to make a sundial that is made out of wood

What I had fun with:
I had fun designing our sundial

What I found difficult
I found it difficult to get all the numbers on their correct places on my first try

  2. Kamusta Brielle!, What an amazing blogpost!, I like how you included a picture of what your sundial look likes, also I like how you included in your blogpost about what you learned. But Next time, make sure instead of linking the slide, just insert the slide in your blogpost. If you don't know how, just ask a teacher or someone that knows how to do it, but overall it's a great blog post. Keep it up!
