Sundial Secrets

Learn how to use the sun to keep track of time just like the mission inhabitants did!

Keeping track of time is easy for us today, but how did people know the time without clocks? Sundials were common, very useful tools to keep track of time, taking advantage of the sun's steady movement across the sky each day to count down the hours of the day. Learn how sundials were made, how they work, and how to make one yourself!
