LESSON V.
QUESTIONS ON DIRECTION.
Your teacher will give you time to discover answers to these questions. She could tell you, but it is better to find them out for yourself.
| IN WHAT DIRECTION DOES YOUR SHADOW FALL? |
If I go out of doors, how can I find the north? How can I find it on a starlight night? How can I find it on pleasant days? How on rainy days? How does a sailor find the north?
If you were lost and knew your home was north, how would you find it? Do you know how hunters and Indians who live a great deal in the woods find out where the north is? When you are in the woods, notice the amount of moss on the north side of trees as compared to that on the south side.
As winter approaches; many of our birds will want to go to a warmer country; in what direction will they fly? Point to where ice and snow have their home. What direction is that?
In what direction does your shadow fall at sunrise? At sunset? At noon? When, during the day, is your shadow shortest?
| WHAT MAY WE DISCOVER BY WATCHING THE SMOKE? |
In what direction does your shadow extend from yourself when it is shortest?
