Due to the immense popularity of our "Sunclocks", especially
in the 'Educational Sector' (mainly at Junior Schools)  -  these
are often shown in School-books, or magazines for Teachers.
 
 
As well as obvious curriculum-wide aspects such as Science,
Mathematics, Geography, Art, etc  -  our 'Human Sundials' are
used as a resource in connection with Astronomy and Space.
 
You could find other (UK based) resources for teaching about
Space-related subjects  -  by clicking the 'logo', shown below.
 

 
 
Our "Sunclock"  was even included as an 'interactive' feature
within a Space-Shuttle Memorial (at Racine, Wisconsin, USA).
 
 
 
In America, it is also regularly used for 'Eagle Scout' projects
and the photograph below shows one, at a school in Virginia.
 
Nikolas Long (pictured here), created it  -  during the summer
of 2008.   He obtained his 'Eagle Scout' award, later that year.
 
This layout was made from mosaic, but it could have been in
many different materials  -  including painting on the ground,
which is a very popular outdoor art project used by schools !
 
The four small pictures, show different stages of its creation.
 

 
       
 
       
 
 
 
This next photograph shows a similar "Sunclock", created by
Adam Jordan for his 'Eagle Scout' project  -  plus is located at
the "Bradford Intermediate School", (near Denver, Colorado).
 
It again used a simple mosaic method, but note that the Date-
scale 'months' are small pieces (with varying 'gaps', between
them)  -  instead of a rectangular area, which we recommend.
 
Full 'rectangles' show clearly where the months start, or end,
giving better accuracy in where a person should be standing.
 

 
 

 
 
Here are just two examples of our 'Human Sundial' illustrated
within School text-books (one in the UK, and one in the USA).
 
They are certainly the most 'interactive' sundials for children,
plus demonstrate how the seasons change during each year.
 
 
This first picture is a page from "Exploring Science (Book 2)"
being one of the 'Q-Science Curriculum' resources published
by "Stanley Thornes Ltd" (1992)  -  its ISBN is: 0-7487-0612-7.
 
The photograph shows young children standing around their
painted "Sunclock"  layout, at a Junior School in Ide (Devon).
 

 
 
 
This next picture is a page from a "Mathematics Dictionary",
designed for 'Elementary Schools', within the United States.
Published by "Highlights Corporation" (Boyds Mill Press), in
Pennsylvania (2006)  -  the ISBN reference is: 1-59078-413-8.
 
Their small photograph shows a 'platform' layout at a school
in Lafayette, Louisiana  -  and you could see enlarged colour
versions in the professional section, of our 'Picture Gallery'.
 

 
 
If any of the text shown in the above illustration is not clear,
you could down-load a slightly larger version of that page in
the "Mathematics Dictionary" -  (at 678 x 902 pixels, in size).
 
 
 
Our customized sundial plans contain all the measurements
plus detailed instructions, to set-out a unique "Sunclock"  at
your specific location.  Schools will often use this project as
the focus for any future 'Re-union', and also as fund-raisers.
 
By using colourful mosaics, it could give schools a creative
'art and craft' lesson  -  or just be painted, on to the ground !
 
 
 
There are many more photographs of "Sunclock"  layouts in
our  PICTURE GALLERY  -  illustrating a variety of materials,
which can be used to create an interactive 'Human Sundial'.
 
Here are just three of the numerous images, featured there:
 
            
 
( These are only small copies  -  larger photographs, with details on all
of them, can be found in that 'Picture Gallery' section of our web-site. )
 
You could also click each of the pictures, above, for more information.
 
 
 
Particularly for schools within the USA, you can click on this
link to the Green Schools Initiative web-site  -  for numerous
'environmentally friendly' ideas, to improve school grounds,
plus which also recommends painting a "Sunclock"  layout !
 
 

 
 
   As more and more people are 'Web-browsing' via their
mobile telephones, or similar hand-held devices (rather than
desk-based computers)  -  all the pages of our web-site have
been deliberately designed to fit within a width of 640 pixels,
thus avoiding any need for continuous 'scrolling' left or right.
 
For example  -  browsing our web-site on an "Apple i-phone"
should allow all the text and pictures to be seen, very easily.
 
 
 
By keeping this web-site simple, fast, plus accessible to any
Internet 'Browsers'  -  it ensures that we will achieve a much
higher ranking with the Search Engines, (such as "Google").
 
We also offer FREE advice, to increase your own 'rankings'.
 
Please telephone us, if you require any assistance with this.

Response Form  -  or click on this link to see why "Sunclocks"
have become so popular, when compared with other sundials.
 
 
Remember you could also make money with Human Sundials,
so please contact us if you may be interested in generating an
income, from this very unusual 'opportunity'.  We suggest that
you telephone us, plus ask to speak direct with Douglas Hunt.
 
Douglas should then be able to discuss several 'possibilities',
and give some advice suited to your personal circumstances.
 
 
Our unique sundial designs are located in numerous different
situations  -  from Schoolyards, to private gardens and Parks.
 
These are particularly popular within the Educational Sector,
due to many 'curriculum-wide' aspects, of a Human Sundial !
 
As garden sundials, there are advantages over the 'pedestal'
type  -  mainly since our ground-level "Sunclock"  cannot be
stolen, and will not interfere with the grass-cutting of a lawn.
 
 
All of our sundial layouts are 'customized', for your location,
so you can be sure that they will indicate correct clock time.
