Re: Physics and Lit Suggested ideas?? (fwd)



have the students construct a sundial for their particular longitude, learn
to tell position using the positions of celectial objects and different
clocks. Have them determine their actual longitude by using a clock,
shadow, and another clock that is registering the time for the local time
zone. Have them research the important mechanism for a mechanical clock.
have them learn how to use the position of Jupiter's moons to determine
longitude.

Hope this helps
