Sun Trajectory Lab

The goal of this lab was to determine the sun's trajectory based on an object fixed in the ground, the length of the object, and the cardinal direction the shadow pointed.  On January 27, 2014 Natalie Franklin performed an experiment in which she placed a pencil in the ground and measured the shadow the pencil cast.  She also measured the height of the pencil and determined the direction the shadow was pointing.  At the bottom I made a table filled with her data and also a screenshot of the sun's actual path using SunCalc.net.
