Making a Sundial Using a Basketball Goal

We have been discussing how time is used to measure in PE. To give the students a sense of how time can be measured using the sun we constructed a sundial using a basketball goal. Every hour we traced the shadow and labeled the mark with the hour. As we were making our marks we discussed that the marks would make 180 degrees. We discussed the pros and cons of using a sundial. We discussed how to make the sundial more effective. We also discussed how the sun moves across the sky in different seasons.
