Learners can be engaged in an activity that explains cyclic movement. (The second hand of an analogue clock, merry-go- round and circular cards, musical chairs could be used). Relate this activity to the occurrence of day and night and explain that the appearance of the Sun, Moon and stars follow a cyclic pattern. Let learners suggest other events in their environment that happen over and over again in a cycle. For example, dry and wet seasons. Learners make sketches displaying events that take place in the day and those that take place in the night. For this activity, learners use locally made clay globe, torch and printed day-and-night picture cards to model the movement or compare the sky at different times and explain the observed cycle.
