Time

Mr Ogilvie's maths groups were focusing on creating our own clocks and observing how the clocks measure time.

The clocks we made were a water clock, sand clock and pendulum.

First, we made estimations for how long it would take for the water clock/sand clock to reach a certain mark and how long it would take the pendulum to swing a specific amount of times.

We then did the proper measurements. For each clock, we answered a range of questions.

We enjoyed this activity and found it fun to experiment with the different clocks. One thing we could work on is our estimations.
