If you were lost and knew your home was north, how would you find it? Do
you know how hunters and Indians who live a great deal in the woods find
out where the north is? When you are in the woods, notice the amount of
moss on the north side of trees as compared to that on the south side.

As winter approaches; many of our birds will want to go to a warmer
country; in what direction will they fly? Point to where ice and snow
have their home. What direction is that?

In what direction does your shadow fall at sunrise? At sunset? At noon?
When, during the day, is your shadow shortest?

[Illustration: "IN WHAT DIRECTION DOES YOUR SHADOW FALL?"]

In what direction does your shadow extend from yourself when it is
shortest?

What time of day is noon? How can we tell when it is noon? When is the
sun highest in the sky?

[Illustration: "WHAT MAY WE DISCOVER BY WATCHING THE SMOKE?"]

What may we discover by watching the direction of the smoke from the
chimneys? What does a vane on a steeple tell us? What is a north wind? A
south wind? An east wind? A west wind?

What kind of weather may be expected from a north wind? From a south
wind? From an east wind? From a west wind?
