A children's guide to the science and history of telling the time and clockmaking in a fun and interactive way.
This interactive book will help children aged 7-9 understand how clocks work and learn how to tell the time on various devices.
Time is central to our experience as humans, and it's important for children to know not just how to tell the time, but also how to make the most of it. About Time uses fun and unique elements to teach children about the topic of time and introduce concepts like time zones and time management.
This time book for children offers:
  • Content written by experts in the field, a scientist, and a Horologist (the study of time).
  • A unique book on an underrepresented topic, looking at how humans learned to measure time, how it shapes our lives, and the amazing science behind time.
  • Interactive and practical activities for children to get involved with and learn about the subject.

  • This book combines the expertise of an award-winning watchmaker and a physics teacher to explore the mechanics and history of timekeeping while aligning with the national curriculum. With this book children can learn much more than just how to tell the time, they can also find out how clocks are built and even explore the history behind timekeeping.
