Take your time with this lesson. Junior engineers read about different types of clocks and then work together to build a pendulum time-keeper. There are no hints as to how they might go about accomplishing this complex task, so you may...

The whole class discusses the differences between the two clocks: digital and a clock with hands. They discuss the differences between the hour hand and minute hand. Students are taught telling time to the half hour. They are introduced...

Take a trip through time. A lesson resource provides instruction on the origin of current measurements for time. The text explains the different tools humans used throughout history to measure time as well as provides examples such as...

Springboard your fourth and fifth graders into the study geologic time. They will complete 7 activities to learn about geologic time and the topics most often associated with it: astronomy, creation, planet formation, volcanology,...

In this clock construction lesson, students use a pencil, compass, and sun clock diagram to construct a homemade sun clock. A very interesting lesson on combining images with text.

In this electrical circuit worksheet, students answer a series of 18 open-ended questions about analog to digital converter circuits. They analyze schematics in order to answer the questions. Students design and build an analog to...

In this electrical circuit activity, students answer a series of 13 open-ended questions about digital-to-analog converter circuits. They analyze schematics in order to answer the questions. This activity is printable and the answers are...

Students make a sundial. In this time instructional activity, students determine the time of the day by creating a sundial. They check the time on the sundial, hourly, for one week. Afterward, they explore what happened to the shadows in...

Third graders investigate the events of geological time using a chart called a "Clock of Eras". In this geological events lesson plan, 3rd graders compare a standard clock to a geological clock. In addition, students consider periods...

Fifth graders locate different time zones. In this time zones lesson, 5th graders label the different time zones. Students research the different ways man has kept time throughout history. Students also compute the differences in time...

Students investigate time. In this investigative instructional activity, students run through an obstacle course using standard timers. They record the time and apply this knowledge to problems in math. Students record their predictions,...

Students research water clocks online, investigate how water clocks work, and construct water clock that will keep time accurately for at least two hours without human intervention.

After a discussion of chemical reactions and electricity, scholars break into groups and follow a scripted activity to discover if fruit can power a clock. After a concluding discussion, the class a presented with a challenge.

Students make shadow clocks. In this earth science instructional activity, students follow the provided steps to make shadow clocks out of the provided pattern and tagboard. A game, a song, a craft, and a recipe are all included with ...

Students examine the importance of tracking time. In this critical thinking lesson, students discuss how people and animals track time and consider the consequences if people did not have clocks or calendars.

Learners practice latitude and longitude by identifying locations by degrees, use meanings of a.m. and p.m. appropriately, become familiar with 24-hour (universal) clock, and calculate time at different degrees longitude.

Students study time and how to accurately calculate it.  For this time lesson students complete a lab activity in pairs and discuss their findings. 

Students examine different time management techniques.  In this life skills lesson students complete an exercise to help them complete their goals in a timely fashion. 

In this measurement of time activity, students read a short article and then look at 12 pictures and draw a line from each one to either the sun or the moon. Students distinguish whether each picture is happening in the day or in the...

Students explore the evolution of time measurement, and explain the relationship of sunrise/sunset to length of daylight. They collect data and calculations to determine length of daylight during a given day.

Young scholars investigate time, how people measure it, and how it influences our lives. They complete an online Webquest, analyze various calendars, answer discussion questions, and identify references to time in a newspaper article.

Learners put together a potato battery that powers a digital clock. For this potato battery lesson plan, students learn the connection between energy from biomass and how we can apply it.

Students explore space science by conducting a sun experiment in class. For this time telling lesson, students discuss how the sun sits in our sky at exact times each day and how astronomy is based on our perspective of the solar system....

Use circle time to work on counting. Kindergarteners practice the months of the year, say the full date, chart the day's temperature, count to 100, and sing the alphabet song. This kind of daily routine cultivates deep roots for...
