Have you been measuring clockwise or anticlockwise?
How do your answers change if you measure it the other way?
What do you notice about your answers? Can you see any patterns?
The photographer picks up the camera and puts it in a different place
in the field. She points the camera at the tree and takes a photo of it.
Then she turns the camera clockwise to take a photo of the pond.
She turns the camera again to take a photo of the spider’s web,
and turns it clockwise a third time to take a photo of the bird’s nest.
Finally, she turns the camera clockwise again to point it back towards
the tree. She notices that each of the four times she turns the camera,
it turns through the same angle.
Where has the photographer put the camera in the field? How many degrees
does it turn between each pair of animal homes?
