Tick Tock, Tick Tock!
Why just read a clock when you can engineer your own timepiece from scratch? This engaging Clock Maker Kit transforms students into horologists and engineers as they explore fundamental concepts about time measurement, analog clock mechanics, and historical timekeeping methods.
Through hands-on construction, learners will discover how water timers and clocks function, develop proficiency in reading analog displays, and gain a deep understanding of how time can be measured using various mechanisms. The kit challenges students to think critically about the engineering principles behind everyday objects while building practical time-reading skills.
The comprehensive learning experience extends beyond physical construction with optional AR integration that brings digital enhancement to traditional clockmaking. Students will construct both a functional analog clock and a water timer, giving them exposure to different timekeeping technologies and methodologies.
Designed specifically for collaborative small group learning environments, this package includes 6 complete kits to accommodate multiple student teams working simultaneously. Each purchase comes with 5 standards-aligned lessons that provide educators with structured guidance, ensuring meaningful learning outcomes while students engage in this fascinating blend of history, engineering, and practical mathematics!
