2 Time Flies Steps from the Sun and the Moon to the Digital Clock By Mrs. Wardman’s Class

3 Day and Night At first people used the sun and the moon to tell time - day and night.

4 Sundials Sundials were used to tell time by early man. Sundials use the shadow made by a stick to show the time.

5 Hourglass The hourglass was also used by early man. The hourglass is just like one of our egg timers or game timers. Sand falls from a top glass ball to a bottom glass ball in a certain amount of time such as a minute or an hour. (Insert picture of Hourglass)

6 Mechanical Clock The mechanical clock was made using gears and wheels to work. They did not keep very good time. (Insert picture of Mechanical Gears)

7 Digital Clock The digital clock of today was invented in 1956. It uses a quartz crystal and a battery to work. It is very accurate.
