Welcome to our exciting 8-week course all about the fascinating concept of time! Time is an interesting construct that affects everything we do, from the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed. Throughout this course, we’ll explore what time really is, how it’s measured, and why it’s such an important part of our daily lives. We'll learn to read both analog and digital clocks, understand time zones, and even explore how the Earth and Sun work together to create the time we experience every day.
Whether you're curious about how clocks work, why the days get longer or shorter, or how to tell time in different ways, this course will have you thinking about time in a whole new way.
Each week will contain a series of engaging independent assignments and a fun family activity. Please note these need to be completed each week BEFORE the live class session occurs.
Live sessions will occur each Saturday from January 6 - March 1 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
We’re so excited that you are here and can’t wait to get started on this journey together! Get ready to dive into activities, games, and lessons that will make you a time-telling expert. Let’s get started on this amazing adventure through time!
