Project: Sky craft
Author/Instructor: auscraft
Description:
You have 3 simple activities for this project the first is to make a Crux clock, second is to demonstrate how to use a watch to tell North in the Southern Hemisphere, third and last is to Demonstrate the method of telling approximate time using your hands and the sun.
Tools Required:
- a Analogue watch
- computer and printer
- Hole punch of some description
- Laminator (Not necessary)
- Scissors
TIP:
- Never run with scissors.
TIP:
- Crux clock can be downloaded from http://users.hunterlink.net.au/~madms/cruxstuff.html "ALL INFORMATION ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT MICHAEL SMITH 1999"
Materials:
- printer paper
- Paper or card
Skills required:
- Fine motor skills
- Basic Bushcraft
Time needed: time required for a “competent” bushcrafter at a leisurely pace
Learning Outcomes:
- basic bush skills that do not rely on Technology
- Understanding past ways of navigation and time telling
- An appreciation of the predictable motion of the sun and stars
- How the Sun and stars can be used to determine direction and tell time
Assessment Criteria:
To successfully complete this project you must present :
- make a crux clock with photos
- Test and use the clock
- describe in both photos and words how to Find North using a watch
- Write and demonstrate using hands to give approximate time of day
Instructions :
- Do Not look directly into the sun
Cleanup :
- Pack away all tools
