After much time spent waiting for the snow to melt, and the rain to go away I was finally able to find sunshine to create a sun plot. I collected data with three of my sorority sisters, Averi Hess, Sarah Brown and Jessica Byers, who are all in the class with me. We used a light post that we measured and measured the shadow of the post at different times of the day, as well as recording the direction of the shadow with a compass on an iphone.
Data Collected:
| Time | Pole Height | Shadow Length | Degree of Shadow |
| 9:45 | 210 | 274 | 217 SW |
| 10:45 | 210 | 203 | 196 S |
| 11:45 | 210 | 156 | 193 S |
| 12:45 | 210 | 141 | 140 SE |
| 1:45 | 210 | 158 | 116 SE |
| 4:45 | 210 | 383 | 65 NE |
