Cubs - Time, Shadow & Space - Ages 8 -11

☀️ Sundial & Solar Hanger Kit (Cubs 8–11)
Build. Explore. Discover.

Long before clocks and watches, people used the sun to tell the time. In this session, Cubs will explore how sundials work and learn how the Earth’s movement creates day and night. They’ll build their very own laser-cut sundials, assemble a solar hanger model of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, and finish with a group game about light and shadow.

It’s a fun and educational session that mixes creativity, science, and hands-on learning.
