The document contains instructions to illustrate the position of the sun and resulting shadows cast by a stick in the ground at different times of day: morning, midday, and evening. Diagrams are provided showing the stick, and the reader must add the sun in the appropriate rising, overhead, or setting position to show the direction and length of the shadow on the ground corresponding to the sun's location at each time. Additional clues about the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, as well as setting in the west when birds are in nests, help to identify the correct sun and shadow placements.

Shadows
Below are three diagrams showing a stick in the ground. In each diagram you need to add:
 An illustration of the Sun - in the appropriate position for that time of day
 A shaded area to show the shadow - where would it be on the ground in relation to the
Sun’s position?
1) Draw in the Sun and a shadow for the morning (when the Sun rises)
2) Draw in the Sun and a shadow for midday (noon)
3) Draw in the Sun and a shadow for the evening (when the Sun sets)
The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west (it’s alphabetical!)
When the birds are in the nest, the Sun sets in the West.
