The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.

This web page contains an activity to track the position of the sun at different times during the year. Participants create their own sundials and mark the location of the sun's shadow over a period of time. An explanation of the results is included along with links to a related site and other astronomy activities.
