John, Just follow the details of the sundial experiment by Mark, another sixth grader. Instead of the pencil as described, stand a student up each hour (or two) as a gnomon and record the shadow position.
His report of his experiment is in my CLOCKS and TIME pages under Education and then Sundial Experiment. Guaranteed to be correct for your latitude and longitude!
