Not really :)
The students began by forming a low level shape with small range of space on the floor. With stretching and reaching, we "woke up" and prepared for the day. We swung our tired arms and shook our body to get us up and moving for a day of fun. Then we danced movement during the day; full of leaps and skipping. By the end of our imaginary day, our bodies collapsed, part by part, until we slowly sunk to slumber.
Wth my students quietly curled up on the floor, I reviewed with them simply what daytime and nighttime is, in preparation for our discussion about sources of light: the sun and moon.
We danced inward and outward motion to represent the gravitational pull into the sun and the heat and light it gives off to nearby planets. With the moon we discovered what happens when light is blocked and each of the students got to meet their shadow ;) Be sure to read the lesson plan to find out more!
