Measuring Shadows

About

I am a fifth grade teacher in Vermont. We will be starting a unit on Astronomy in January - February of 2018. I am looking for classes in different parts of the world who could take photos of themselves and their shadows at two particular times of day, and then post the student's height, and the length of their shadow. We could see other parts of the world, and also see how the length of our shadows are different based on how close we are to the equator. Each of our classes could have access to the photos, so we could each graph these lengths, and compare geography at the same time. Let me know if you would be able to do this :) My email is mwilliams@wwsu.org. Sincerely, Melissa Williams
