Make a ‘Big Dipper Star Clock’
(activity/handout from Big Dipper Star Clock 2006, Astronomy From the Ground Up)
You don’t need a watch to tell what time it is at night as long as you can find the Big Dipper. Long before digital watches or even grandfather clocks, people used the sky to tell time at night. Follow their example and build a star clock that you can use to tell time by the stars. Use link below to download the activity:
