Aideen – Making a sundial outside is lovely idea. It doesn’t even have to be as complicated as using protractors and compasses. You can trace out a circle on the ground and go out at various points during the day marking where your shadow was and what time to slowly construct a working one. You could discuss the limitations of a sundial, like how it doesn’t work when it’s not sunny.
