What are two ways to identify NESW?

-The sun

-shadow

Explanation:

-The sun rises in the general direction of east and sets in the general direction of west every day, so you can use the location of sunrise or sunset to get an approximate idea of direction.

-The shadow will always move - or, more precisely 'grow' in the west-to-east direction. (Before noon, when the sun is rising, the shadow will grow shorter and after noon when the sun is setting, the shadow will grow longer)

it also supports my hypothesis. if you rest first you can squeeze the clothespin more times. from the data i collected the average of the eight people concluded exercise makes your muscles more fatigued and less able to squeeze the clothespin compared to resting before squeezing.
