Graphically illustrate different time zones.
Abstract concepts of changing dates and time around the Earth are clearly demonstrated with this classroom activity. Using the enclosed circular maps and time zone chart, students make rotations to discover the relationship between longitude and time. Includes overhead transparency of the Earth’s Date and Time Movement, 15 student desk models, and a teacher’s guide with instructions, background information on time zones and the date line, reproducible student exercises, review sheets, and tests with answer keys.
