This web site is currently under construction as part of a grant from HP using technology in the classroom.  The images were taken using an HP digital camera on the Hannibal High School campus.  Below you will find an image showing the different compass directions that relate to sunrise on campus.  Electronic copies of student worksheets and data tables will be available for use in class.  See the links below for information related to this project.  Students should use the link to help them gather information and complete the project.
