Activity 5

After students understand angles in math, study how the angle of the sun relates to weather phenomenon.
Using a meter stick at a 90 degree angle, make a shadow chalk drawing once a month (on the same day, time and position on the playground) for the school year to determine the position of the sun during the seasons. Have the students measure the direction and length of the shadows on the days recorded. Make several graphs of the information and discuss learned material. How does the sun's angle affect the shadows?
