Rover Sundials Extend student learning during Lessons 2 and 3 of
Measuring Time by having students research the sundials, known as
MarsDials, aboard the Mars rovers. Although sundials are simple in concept
and design, the device on the rovers is a more complex version that not only
tracks the apparent motion of the sun on Mars, it also adjusts the colors of
the rovers’ panoramic cameras.
