Images of the tools for measuring the Sun's angle

You need to measure the sun's angle of inclination.  

Tools needed:  Apparatus from Activity 5 and 2 nails (approximately 10 cm),thin cardboard (approximately 25 x 25 cm), string(approximately 1.5 meter long), ruler.

1.  Obtain  a meter stick.
   
2. On  a  piece of  thin cardboard draw a quadrant (1/4 of  circle)  using  a protractor that  has lines indicating  every degree from zero degrees to  90 degrees.
   
3.  Glue the quadrant to the wide side of  the stick ( see drawing).
   
4.  Pound  a  large nail perpendicular  to the quadrant at the  origin  (see drawing). 
   
   
5. On a sunny day, at the time of data collection, wrap one end of the string around the nail that is at the quadrant origin point and use the other nail to anchor the other end of the string into the ground following the sun shadow.    
   

Note: Record the angle of the shadow on the protractor. It is the angle of the sun's inclination at the time you measured it.

Enter the time and the angle into your project journal

When you have finished, please take a digital picture of your tool and post as a reply under your school/classroom name in the forum listed above.
