Opportunities for Tracking Sunsets Participants throughout Maryland will observe and document, using digital photography (phone or
stand-alone cameras), along with online data to track sunset points along an horizon and answer such questions as: - What patterns are there in Maryland sunsets as the sun journeys to the Tropic of Capricorn?
- In what ways do various phenomena in the local environment change during the journey?
- In what ways are the appearances of sunsets alike and different?
- How
does tracking sunsets integrate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) practices?
