🌱 Ecology Curriculum

On a sunny day, go outside to a playground or field.

• Place a stick (like a metre ruler or a cane) upright in the ground.
• Every hour, use chalk or a stone to mark the end of the stick's shadow. Write the time next to your mark.
• What do you notice about how the shadow moves and how its length changes? This is happening because the Earth is spinning, making the Sun's position in the sky appear to change.
