Comments Off on Who Set The First Clock?

Fifth graders recently learned why and how our ancestors divided the day into 24 hours and how to use a sun dial to tell the time of day. We first used flashlights in the classroom to understand how the position of the light affects the time shown on the clock. Then we took them outside to see how the position of the Sun could tell them the time of day. They were pretty amazed at their accuracy.
