History of Timekeeping

A power point presentation on the history of timekeeping from ancient times to the present. This is a fun, interactive talk geared toward school-age children including topics of types of clocks, how clocks affect our everyday lives, the nature of time, and extreme clocks. The children will assist in making a clepsydra (water clock) and conduct an experiment to see what happens when the components are manipulated. Students really have fun with this!  Presentation is about 1 hour.
