| OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER |
• Activity 1, Part 2: You will need to arrange with
other teachers to schedule students to record shadow lengths
once an hour on their group’s Shadow Trackers. Have
the students prepare the Trackers one day and then record
shadows on the next sunny day.
There are eight compasses in the kit. Students need a compass
to orient the Shadow Trackers. If you don’t want to
purchase enough extra compasses so each class has their own,
don’t attach the compasses to the Shadow Trackers and
have the groups share them. |
