Building a Sundial

 Making a Sundial 

Today I built a very ancient item, the item I built was a Sundial 

A sundial is a device that is used to tell time by the positioning of the sun. This happens when the sun is shining and is hitting the sundial which casts a shadow and the shadow will indicate the time it is by pointing to the number.

Final product

After making my Xylophone I tested it out and was a big success, the paper Xylophone was making different sounds.

This experiment wasn't too hard to make but took a long time due to the huge amount of retakes on the making of the clip. I really enjoyed making the paper Xylophone and was really surprised at how it came out.
