This task is very time-consuming; you need to record time all day. Choose a place that is enlightened by the sun throughout the day. Turn the rod into the ground so that it points to the north and the ground is griped by an angle of 50°. Draw the position of the pointer shadow every hour. Note, however, that the sundial is preceded by the current date or delayed by a few minutes. Record every hour at a time when your watch does not show the whole hour, but it is just a few minutes more (or less).
