Synopsis

‘Time Flies’; part of a reasonably well-known Latin clause which has become a cliché; but does it move as is implied? We will see. Full instructions to build your own portable Multi-Purpose Sundial are in here. No ordinary sundial this, it can also be used for the night sky; truly Multi-Functional. It's portable, cheap and easy to build and helps to make the teaching (and learning) of geographical and astronomical concepts three-dimensional, thus easier to understand. For example, does Time move, or is it stationary and we pass through Time? One way to address this question is by an analysis of the Earth’s 24-hour daily spin on its axis, and the 12-month trip around the Sun. This is what is done in this book, and thus demonstrates both the day-time and night-time functions of the sundial; yes, night-time functions for a sundial! The Multi-Purpose Sundial, as an assist-tool to your teaching, will help make some things easier to understand for your students. Hope this has pricked your curiosity,
