With the sun shining it's the perfect time to make a sun dial.

Graphic: Funky facts
Did you know that the Earth moves around the Sun taking approximately 365 days to complete one orbit.
The path that the Earth takes around the Sun is elliptical and so, at different times of the year, the distance between the two will vary.

Use our templates to make your sundial - you can print them out.
Print the sundial base and the gnomon here.
After you've printed it, close the box


You will need:
A pair of scissors
A compass
Some sellotape
A craft knife
A print-out of the two sundial templates

Place the main sheet on a hard surface and using the craft knife, cut down the line that says 'cut here' (ask an adult to help you).
Using the scissors, carefully cut out the template for the gnomon, the triangle shape.
Once you have done that, fold it along the line.
Now place the gnomon inside the slit of the sundial template. You must make sure the right-angle is at the bottom of the sundial template (see picture).
