This is what I learned about sundials.
3 interesting facts I found about sundials.
1) Sundials is a kind of a clock that tells time when there's only sun's sunlight, but sundial can't tell time when the weather is blocking the sun's sunlight and you can't tell when it's been 1 or 2 days because of the weather blocking the sun.
2) Sundials can't work when your not in the right place, I think that because when I tested my sundial on the outside, but the shadow only stayed in the centre of my sundial, because the sun rotates only on front of my head to up and to the back.
3) In the past, Romans use sundial to tell the time, they make it in the paper and use a thin long stick or a gnomon, they put the stick or the gnomon in the centre.
This is where I found how to make a wood sundial.
I made some mistake about making a sundial, and that mistake is my lines are not in the right way and the numbers too, I used my pencil to know what's the time in my sundial.
What I found challenging is to measure the lines on my sundial, it was a little difficult to place a line in the right way.
What I learnt about sundial is sundial can't work when your not in the right place, because of the sun is not in the right way.
I had fun cutting the corner of my sundial using the saw thingy and marking the lines and number, to be honest it is difficult to mark the lines on my sundial but i had fun with it.
I didn't know that there was other device that people use to tell the time, like clock candle, hour glass, sundials and other clocks that can tell time, now I know that there's a other clock that can be use to tell time, I'd like to try the hour glass because it's so cool to watch the sand inside hourglass slowly sinking.
This is how I made my sundial.
1. I got a flat piece of wood from the workshop
2. I marked the corner of my sundial and cut it
3. I got a tiny piece of flat wood about 2 times smaller than my first wood
4. I drilled a tiny hole in the centre of my sundial to put the thin stick I got
5. I cut a thin long stick it's about how long my second finger
6. I Glued the tiny piece of flat wood in the centre of my big flat wood.
7. Then I glued the stick in the centre hole of my sundial and wait about 5-6 minutes
8. Then I cut the wood half
9. Then I drawled a lines and numbers on my sundial and have a little decorate
