..which reopens another can of worms, which I don't propose to deal with. But my daughter, just back from Singapore, was delighted to see snow this morning. She hadn't seen it for years. So much for my claim that it is now summer! I have been asked by the Meteorological Office to advise on a sundial design, to go on their educational Web site, suitable for children to make. I've been trying to think how to show children about seasons through the sun's movement. Clearly, a sundial can show you how the sun's altitude and the length of day vary. Also, the amount of energy received from the sun instantaneously/daily. Does anyone have any thoughts on how best to do this, or indeed other aspects of seasonality that a sundial can demonstrate? I'd like to make it as relevant as possible to meteorology.
