@John: this is a good idea and in fact what I want: they should get curious about sundials and understand the basics such that they will be capable to create their own design and shape of a sundial, eg as you described!
@Edley: With Donald's help you could see what I have in mind. @Donald: Thanks for helping and I will try to learn myself as much as possible as well; but it's only half a day though... @Carl: Thank you, your site is really great. I wanted to make something out of wood or so, not paper. But your ring sundial looks so cool, I will propose this one to the kids as well. I will post my experiences and our success here on the mailinglist when we finished the project: thanks for all your ideas and help!
