Area Elective 2 is a multiple setting physics course for prospec-
tive physics teachers including residential outdoor activities in nature. One of
the purposes of the course is to organize a guideline for the classroom envi-
ronment through life experiences in nature and discovering the problems which
nature imposes. The topic of the research is based on an experiment within
the scope of features of antique experiments. Because of the students' rst en-
counter with such type of an activity, the researchers gave some hints in order
to set up the experiment. The participating six students recorded the change
of shadow lengths of a stick during a day time to calculate angular speed of
the Earth. Then a voluntary student was interviewed. The results show that
inquiries on this one-day experiment are enriching factors in studying the causes
of experimental errors in outdoor setting.
