Measure and Record Time

In this activity, we will be measuring and recording time in hours, minutes, and seconds. 

A second is a very quick measurement of time and 60 seconds makes one minute. 

So, if you count to 60 slowly (but not too slowly), that is how long a minute is. 

We would use a stopwatch to measure how long something might take to do. 

Something quick would be timed in seconds, such as putting on a shoe.   

Something a little bit longer but not too long would be measured in minutes, such as eating your dinner.   

Next, we have an hour. 

60 minutes make an hour. 

Something that takes quite a long time would be measured in hours, such as watching a film.   

Shall we have a go at some questions?
