• RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very
important and should be recorded in your
science journal.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

-Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn.

• RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very
important and should be recorded in your
science journal.
• BLACK SLIDE: Pay attention, follow
directions, complete projects as described
and answer required questions neatly.

 New Area of Focus: The Sun, Earth, Moon.

• Activity! Making a Sundial

– Some important notes

– The Earth rotates around
the Sun

• The side facing sun is day,

• The side facing sun is day, night is on the
other side.

the Sun
– The Earth rotates on its
axis which causes day and
night to occur.

– One complete rotation
takes 24 hours.

• The sidereal day is 23 h 56 m
4.1 seconds, just shorter than
the solar day.

• Alternative set-up using journal.
– This set works well if the Sun is low in the sky
as the other set-up can cast a very long
shadow.

• Sundial Procedure and Set-up
– Must have sunny day.
– Set-up Sundial so it’s perpendicular to the paper /
board.
– Stick pin in top of wood dowel / dot on sheet
– Place compass next to shadow from wood dowel and
record direction of shadow.
– Tape paper or secure science journal to board. DO NOT
MOVE! (Wind will ruin, use stones)
– Mark with a dot every ____ minutes the location of the
shadow on your journal page and record time of day
next to dot.
– Measure distance from dial to each dot in centimeters.

• Questions based on your data.
• What directions did the shadow travel?
– (North, NE, East, South East, South, South
West, West, North West)
Length of First Shadow
Length of last Shadow
Distance shadow moved in 30 minutes

• Possible Answers:
• What directions did the shadow travel?
– (North, NE, East, South East, South, South
West, West, North West) *West to East
– The Sun moves in the opposite direction the
earth rotates.
Length of First Shadow
Length of last Shadow

• Where is the sun in respect to our
classroom in the morning?

• What’s a syzygy?
– The nearly straight-line configuration of three
celestial bodies (as the sun, moon, and earth
during a solar or lunar eclipse) in a gravitational
system.
