Individual Horizontal Sundial 2: Cloud/Rain Activity

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners create a sundial to measure local apparent time as it relates to the position of the sun in the sky. In this sundial lesson, students cut and glue gnomon to a sheet of thin cardboard.  Learners then set the sundial in an appropriate point while adjusting it to compare the time they see on the dial with the time on a clock.
