here u go friend.. I hope this helps you..

Explanation:

In order to create your homemade sundial, you will need a paper plate or piece of paper, marker or crayon, straw (may also use a pen or pencil) to be used as the gnomon, and direct sunlight.

Note: This is much trickier on a cloudy day.

Step 1: Prep Work

The concept of a sundial is best illustrated if started before noon. Use a pencil or something thin and sharp to poke a hole through the center of the paper plate and act as your gnomon. Then write the number 12 on the outer edge of the plate.

Step 2: Set the Dial

At noon, place the sundial in direct sunlight so that the shadow projected by the gnomon is pointing toward the number 12. Slant the gnomon toward the number slightly and leave your sundial for about an hour.

Step 3: Question and Answer

Ask students where they think the shadow will be at 1 pm. Mark the board with their guesses.

Step 4: Time Check

Come back at 1 pm and check to see how accurate students' guesses were. Mark the actual place for 1 pm and have students guess again for 2 pm and so on.

This summer learning activity is designed as a fun and simple project to keep students thinking mathematically and scientifically over summer vacation while helping to make the connection between science and nature.
