Go back to Curriculum Overview INQUIRY PROBLEM: Tom is determined to build his own museum exhibit of clocks and watches, but he needs your help to find examples of clocks that have digital numbers, pendulums, battery power, electrical power, wristbands, springs, and even radio wave receivers. Can you locate clocks with these characteristics and more? The exhibit depends on you, because each kind of clock tells a different story of time. DESCRIPTION Replication Activity: Students learn object analysis, then apply this observation system to clocks brought from home. Final class activity is the assembly of your own class "Timeline of Timepieces" exhibit. History Lab Exhibit: Timeline of Timepieces TOPIC AREAS Chronology Technological innovation Interpretive writing MATERIALS NEEDED Internet access Wall space in class or other area Paper and board for creating and mounting labels Student clocks Artifact Detective Worksheets "Time Resource Kit" IMPLEMENTATION Present the Inquiry Problem to students a day or two before starting the project.

Life Story last updated at 9:10 a.m. Sunday, May 25, 2003 Keeping time Horologists love to tinker with clocks and watches BY CLAY BARBOUR Of The Post and Courier Staff You hear them before you see them, that unmistakable ticking in the background of life. They hang on the walls in our dens and kitchens and, for the most part, represent only a tool for staying on schedule. YALONDA M. JAMES/STAFF Surrounded with an array of clocks, David Rehr prepares to repair a clock inside of his garage shop on. But even in our fast-paced, laser-precise, digitally enhanced age, there are those who see clocks as something more. To these people, they are a link to a time and place nearly forgotten, a piece of ticking history that represents the best of human ingenuity and artistry. Enter David Rehr's house in Goose Creek and you're struck immediately by the number of clocks lining its walls. In all, nearly 40 reside there, some more than 150 years old. There are clocks that chime and clocks that bong, clocks with birds that play a song, clocks housed in wood and clocks housed in glass, clocks that run a tad too slow and clocks that turn a hair too fast. Rehr is one of the Lowcountry'smost avid horologists. In the strictest sense, horology is the art and science of measuring time. But over the years the term has come to stand for people who love collecting and tinkering with clocks.

It seems strange nowadays to think of parts of Britain having different local times , but coaches which travelled long distances once carried timepieces which added about 15 minutes a day when heading east to allow for local time differences. With the improved communications brought by the Victorians, especially telegraph messages and the railways , the use of local times caused many problems. In the Great Western Railway ordered that London time was to be used for all timetables and at all stations along the network.

Yes No The Family History Compass Archive Ten Steps to Recording Your Personal History As family historians, we often forget that we are an important part of our family's history. It should be easy to write our own life story, since we know more about ourselves than anyone else, but we still tend to put it off. Here are a few ideas to help get your personal history project off the ground. 1. Schedule some "me" time. 2. Make it convenient. 3. Do a little at a time. While the task of documenting your personal history may seem overwhelming at first, if you do it a little at a time, you will find it much less intimidating. If you focus on smaller periods of your life and don't try to record it all at once, the project will seem much more manageable. If you think of something for another period, you can jot down a note for later reference. It doesn't necessarily have to be done in chronological order, and you can pick and choose your focus as the mood strikes or as memories are stirred. 4. Interview yourself.

Earthbeat All in the Mind Health Report Ockhams Razor ... Science News Broadcast Saturday 21/10/2000 "Keeping Time" Summary: Canadian journalist Dan Falk looks at the history of time-keeping, which seems to have become increasingly important to us in the modern world. Transcript: Robyn Williams: Time. It can be stretched, reversed, even abolished. This week on the Science Show a slightly longer history of time. Dan Falk: Maybe you're one of the lucky ones. Maybe you don't need to wear a watch. Maybe you don't need to be anywhere next week at any particular time - but chances are you do. And chances are you do look at your watch, probably several times a day or more. Maybe you're a bit more particular. If you listen to this station at midday you can hear an electronic time signal that comes from an atomic clock, a machine that counts billionths of a second. You might wonder why we even bother to measure intervals of time so incredibly small, but it turns out that almost all of the technology that surrounds us depends on precision timekeeping. Television, computers, satellites, space probes, none of it would be possible without a mastery of time. Without the clock we would be living in a very different world. William Andrews: The invention of the mechanical clock was a fundamental invention in the growth of western civilisation.

He maintains that people who move together to the same beat tend to bond and thus that communal dance and drill alter human feelings." John Mueller, New York Times Book Review "Every now and then, a slender, graceful, unassuming little volume modestly proposes a radical rethinking of human history. Such a book is Keeping Together in Time ...Important, witty, and thoroughly approachable, [it] could, perhaps, only be written by a scholar in retirement with a lifetime's interdisciplinary reading to ponder, the imagination to conceive unanswerable questions, and the courage, in this age of over-speculation, to speculate in areas where certainty is impossible. Its vision of dance as a shaper of evolution, a perpetually sustainable and sustaining resource, would crown anyone's career." Penelope Reed Doob

Concord Museum Concord, MA http://www.concordmuseum.org Keeping Time: Clockmaking in Concord, 1790-1835 T he Concord Museum in Concord, Massachusetts announces a ground-breaking exhibition, " Keeping Time.· Clockmaking in Concord, 1790-1835," open to the public September 8, 2000 through January 21, 2001. "Keeping Time" is the first major exhibition to reflect on a new and significant reinterpretation of New England clockmaking by focusing on one Federal-era craft community. The exhibitiona fascinating mix of craftsmanship, social history, entrepreneurship, economics, and artfeatures over thirty of the finest examples of documented Concord clocks from the Concord Museum's collection and other collections. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Concord was a thriving community, already famous throughout the young nation for its critical early role in the events leading up to the American Revolution. It was the half shire town for Middlesex County, attracting over 500 visitors to the courts twice a year, among them customers for Concord's hats, shoes, carriages and clocks. Among Concord's approximately 400 heads of households in this period, about 65% were in agriculture, 4% in commerce, and 35% in manufacturing. Of those in manufacturing, seven men headed clockmaking shops and another thirty or so were engaged in the shops or in businesses that supplied the clockmaking trade - the brass foundry, iron forge, wire-drawing mill, and a number of cabinetmaking shops. In short, the center of Concord the Milldam was a machine for the production of clocks, second only in importance to Boston's industrial Roxbury Neck, where the influential Willard family had been producing clocks since about 1785.

Some years afterwards, in 457, Victor of Aquitane, by order of the Roman Archdeacon Hilary, endeavoured to make the Roman and the Alexandrian calculations agree together. It has been conjectured that subsequently Hilary, when Pope, brought Victor's calculation into use, in 456that is, at the time when the cycle of eighty-four years came to an end. In the latter cycle the new moons were marked more accurately, and the chief differences existing between the Latin and Greek calculations disappeared; so that the Easter of the Latins generally coincided with that of Alexandria, or was only a very little removed from it.

var loc = "../../../"; (continued) Q: October the 30th, a big decision day. What did you say to the President? What did the President say? Powell: October 30th, we assembled in the Situation Room at the White House. I'd just returned from Saudi Arabia where Norm and I and all of his commanders sat down and went over what troops would be needed for a more workable plan than the plan that had been presented on the 11th of October. And we'd come up by now with a good plan. Lots of people worked on it, I don't think anyone can claim ownership of that plan. It was a plan that almost emerged out of what the Iraqis were doing and the situation that presented itself. And so I had come back to present this plan to my political masters and we assembled in the Situation Room. Brent Scowcroft led off the meeting and Brent said, "We are, Mr President," solemnly he said, "Mr President, we are at a Y in the road. Down one branch we can continue sanctions, which was the policy, and we can just be prepared to defend Saudi Arabia. Down the other branch we start to get the necessary political authority to go on the attack." They chatted about that. This conversation broke out between Baker and Scowcroft and Cheney as to when we might go to the UN, this, that and the other. The President got just tired of it after a while and I was standing there with all my maps and he said, "Fine, fine, fine. Colin let's hear from you."

KEEPING TIME MUSEUM SCHOOL LIBRARY ... PUBLICATIONS What is Horology By Donn Lathrop W hat on earth is horology? Briefly, it's the science or art of measuring time. It's a science that started back in the days of the Babylonians, who came up with the idea for the 60 second minutes and 60 minute hours we use now. It's now in the hands of scientists who measure time in billionths of a second with atomic clocks, but most of us aren't interested in billionths of anything. The first time keeping device was probably a stick in the ground, and some clever soul noticed that the stick's shadow moved as the sun moved. From that came the present sundial. Other devices were the water clock, in which a bowl was either filled or emptied within a certain period of time, probably timed by the shadow of a stick in the groundbut you could use the water clock at night. Other devices were marked candles, oil lamps that would burn a measured amount of oil, or a stick of incense that burned at a measured rate, and would drop a thread-suspended metal ball on a bell. The first mechanical clock was probably made by a blacksmith somewhere in Italy, as an alarm clock for a brother in a monastery who had to wake his mates at a certain time of the morning to start the day's worship sequence.
