Throughout this unit, we have been discovering what time is and how it works. This led us to continue our mini-lessons on time. Each student gave us a presentation on how time works in different and creative ways. For this unit, we learned about how to tell time without really using a digital clock or our phones. We also learned the history and background of how clocks were created and how it was back then when trying to tell the time. We first learned about sundials. Sundials, are gnomons (tall stick or pillar) where you can put into the ground to determine the shadow it captures and the way it moves. When using a sundial you are able to see how the sun is used to tell the time of day it is. Along with learning about sundials, we learned about longitude, latitude, and how we can calculate our location by using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This is Newton's Cradle time clock! This is used to determine the hours that have passed, which allows kids and students to truly understan...

This is my Action Project for my class called, Light, Sound, and Time. In this class, we conducted a lot of activities to understand the connection between the three elements: Light, Sound, and Time. For this unit, we only focused on sound and how it travels to our ears along with, speed, pitch, wavelength, frequency, etc. For this unit, we had a field experience to The Chicago Hearing Society where we were able to speak to people who have trouble hearing or can't hear at all and use what we learned in our first class, empathy. It was an interesting way to get a different perspective on sound and how it affects someone's life. So for this action project, we put all the elements that we have learned throughout this unit and make a diddley bow. Similarly, to the pinhole cameras, we made to study light. For this action project, I found it super fun and also challenging at the same time. It was my first time making a diddley bow, which looks simple but also hard to make. ...
