Sun Track Diorama
Photo and Native American design by Ginger Armstrong
Model of the tracks of the Sun at the equinoxes and solstices,
developed by Deborah Scherrer and Barbara Scherrer. Instructions
My program was a guided walk through the park
and the topic was the winter solstice. ... I copied a diorama
used by Dr. and Mrs. Scherrer during the training that demonstrated
the sun's position in the sky at different times of the year.
This became my most effective teaching tool. Everyone loved
the diorama!" Cidney Webster, National Park Service
