Human Sundial

While studying the sun, I measured Elie's shadow throughout the morning so she can see how it changes as the sun moves through the sky.  She enjoyed having her hands in different stances while I drew each shadow.

We simply went outside and she stood still while I outlined her shadow in chalk.  Then she tried to lay down on her shadow to see if she would fit.  We had a great time taking in the sun!  Oh the joys of homeschooling.
