Through a series of simple body movements, students gain insights into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis and orbit around the Sun) and about how these motions influence what we see in the sky at various times of the day and year. The lesson can be applied to understand the times of day and year on other planets (e.g. Mars). The lesson can be taught with or without an emphasis on the reasons for seasons.
