Patterns of the Sun

We began studying space in science. We first started by learning about patterns of the Sun. We made Sun Trackers or Sun Dials and learned how they can help us tell the time of day. We went out three different times and pointed our plates to the north. We saw, throughout the day, the shadows were in different places. We later looked at how those places were in the same places as the hour hand on a clock! 
10:45 AM -Pretend the N is the 12 on a clock. :) 
12:20 PM 
2:40 PM 

They were so excited to see how the earth was turning throughout the day to make the sun look as if it was moving! 

We are now learning about patterns of the moon!
