Default Sun Shadow Investigation Project

Take part in a global project during the September Equinox by joining with
students at Colegio Menor San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador) and students and
educators from around the globe in SunShIP, the Sun Shadow Investigation
Project.



Participants will measure the altitude of the mid-day Sun and use this
information to calculate the polar circumference of the Earth. Additionally
participants are encouraged to take pictures of student involvement or of
mid-day shadows from various latitudes for comparison.

Participating individuals or classrooms that send in data will receive an
official certificate from the Eratosthenes Society.



Visit the project web site at http://sunship.currentsky.com for more
information, activities for all grade levels, and to add your name or
classroom to the participant guest map.



Clear Skies…
