6th Grade Curriculum - TIME
Purpose: To create artistic & accurate clock engineered for a teacher or space
SCIENCE
Time - what is it from the science point of view?
Atomic clock - chemistry connection to cesium atom
Radio waves to understand how the clock gets its time information to be so accurate.
Electromagnetism and motors - how to move the clock without gravity
TECHNOLOGY
Create a solution to telling accurate time (sundial, hourglass)
Create tool to create perfect circle
ENGINEERING
Interview the teacher with questions and measure room.
Use collected information to create ideas to incorporate into the art of their clock.
Ensure that the clock will fit in the space provided.
ART & HISTORY
Students explored the way ancient civilizations have measured time before electricity and modern technology.
Creating a piece that expresses the personality of the teacher and the feeling of the space
Create a permanent piece of art at the school
MATH
Students used geometry concepts and measurement skills to determine the size of the clock and divide it into the different sections. (diameter, radius, area, fractions, angles)
