The following projects are a few of the collaborative ones dealing with time, clocks and time measurement that have been done or are being currently offered. Consider joining a project with your class or beginning one of your own.
Classrooms around the world showcased a clock in their community. See the photographs and read about all of these unique clocks. Perhaps there is a clock in your community that has a story to tell.
Thousands of people are born each day, but which month has the most births? A group of fifth grade mathematics students from the Erving Elementary School in Erving, Massachusetts is determined to find out! Take a look at the birthday data from their school and see what participants have found out.
The ways we have measured time have changed throughout the centuries. Isn't it about time as we approach the new millennium to look at the ways we measure time and the way timepieces help us do the things we need to do, when we need to do them. The Millennium Clock Project is an opportunity for you and your students to explore time - its history, its present and its future and design a timepiece or device to best reflect your visions for the millennium.
