Math (SUNDIALS)
In Math for the last past week we had been making Sundials at the workshop, In reality, I didn't expect to do something which involves building something in Maths, but I'm glad we did do it.
During Math, we had to make a slideshow about Sundials, Heres mine not much but there will be a couple of stuff also in this blog post under this which contains facts about Sundials.
------------------------------------
Facts about Sundials x3

------------------------------------
I did not know
I didn't know what the middle part of a Sundial was called...
at first, I thought it was just a pole or a stick.
I found out that
What the middle part of the Sundial was called, the Gnomom
or Celestial pole (Thanks to my awesome Math teacher)
I have learnt
An easy way to make a sundial
What I need to learn
I think I need to learn how to read a clock better, I'm on
my way to it, so once I do know how hopefully
I'll be able to read the Sundial with no problem That would be a good achievement.

Reference to our Sundial Link with Sundial (Scam IDK)
Here is what I and Summer used to reference our sundial, the part we used was the number part, what I mean is we did the 6 to 12 on the left and then the 6 to 12 on the right.
------------------------------------
I find this video interesting because the man talks about how Sundials were used in Egypt within more than 3500 years ago and that the dial was designed by a man named Otto Klotz who was an Astronomer.
For making our Sundials we had a choice to where we worked alone or with someone.
I worked with someone in my class a good friend of mine Summer. After days of making our sundial here was our final product.
first, we had to draw out the shape on paper on what we wanted out Sundial to look like, then we got a piece of wood from the back drew on the shape and got it cut out. then we sanded it, made a hole in the middle and glued a rode in since the hole was a bit too big.
Then we added the lines or angles and then the numbers, and to finish it off we added a drawing (By Summer) of a Chinese dragon.
