It's Time for the First Reading!
"There's a breeze in the trees, and a chill on the hill." I think that's an old State of Maine phrase. Anyway, Fall arrives on Sunday. Take your first reading as close as possible to Sunday and send it to me ASAP. If you go to the data table you will see that there are almost 60 (count them 60!!!) schools doing this. That's fantastic! Please send as much information as you want, and I'll add it to your page. The minimum could be only the reading. It would be great if you could also send me the times of sunrise and sunset, length of daylight, and temperature (either C or F) when you take the reading at your local noon. In the "comments" section tell me how you took the measurements, and how you arrived at your final answer. Pictures are always welcome, but check with your school for any legal limitations to showing the faces of students. Please send your results to cflindgren@comcast.net . Any questions or problems, don't hesitate to drop me a line.
Clear Skies,
Charlie
