Plan how your students could “observe and record the positions of the sun when rising and setting and at different times of the day”
In order to complete this task I would discuss with the class that direct sunlight moves to where it hits throughout the day. I would discuss shadows etc.
Next I would ask the children the position of the sun at sunrise and sunset.
In order to observe and record this I would ask children to use weather apps (If summer sun rise and sun set might be too early/late for the children to observe)
If in wintertime I would ask children to keep a record of where the sun is in the morning – their front/ back garden etc and do this again at sunset. During the day in school we could monitor the movements of the sun and keep a written record.
