This classroom connector addresses instructional objective 1.02. Today, we are going to talk about the sun. The sun is a star. It is made entirely of hot gases. As with all stars, the sun gets its energy from fusion.
Fusion happens when protons crash into each other and stick together.
Make a hole in the center of the circle big enough for the pencil. Tape the pencil to keep it upright. Bring the sundial outdoors on a sunny day. Mark the place where the shadow of the pencil points. Write the time there.
