    Hooray for afforable science! Great video! Loved the timelapse!

      BirdyBot Plays Games! Thanks! I'm currently so fascinated by timelapses... it's cool to see the passage of time from a different perspective :)

    I briefly got distracted by what I think is a purple martin house in the background... But then I zoned back in. :)

      It could be? I don't know - it isn't ours. We do have a purple martin feeder back at the farm though :)

    I think I found it old sundial but it's a rock but it looks like it for the Sun

    Crap. I was thinking of doing something similar! Well played!
    Sticks and stones may break my bones but they can also be used to measure the sun.
    Wait. Why are you in London, Ontario?

      You still should! Also, depending where you are, if we did one at the same time, we could measure the size of the earth... !!! .... I was in Rondeau Park for this video. Just had a short visit back home this summer :)

    +The Scope of Science
    I am searching for a sun tracking experiment that shows the path of the sun. I am tracking today on the equinox. i have been told that the suns path on the surface will track as a straight line today. I will post the findings tomorrow. My question to you is, what day of the year did you make this sundial? And if it was not near the equinox was the path curved? If you checked the path. Thanks.

      Sorry for the delayed response! I was just filming a video in the Himalayas :) I filmed the sundial timelapse on July 30th, 2017, and there was definitely a curved path. Whether or not there is a straight line will totally depend on where you are. I'm a bit jet lagged so may not be thinking straight (?), but I'm pretty sure you need to be on the equator for it to be a straight line on the equinox. Way cool that you did that! How did it turn out??

      At equinox the sun is directly above the equator. In order for the line of a sun dial to be straight it would need to be on the equator at equinox. It would also be straight if the sundial was on the tropic during the appropriate solstice. South or north of the tropics the line will always be curved, however the degree of curvature will change with the seasons.How did you're experiment go?

    Can you make a video using sticks, proving the earth is not flat please?

    🤔 NOT BAD. NOW... TELL ME HOW THEY CALCULATED AN "HOUR" WITHOUT USING A WATCH TO TELL THEM HOW FAR APART TO PLACE THE STICKS. 😆
