A Walk Through Time - NIST
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): time (98), time zones (8)
In the Classroom
Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Then have students explore this site independently or in small groups. Have each group read and interpret individual sections on this site - making sure every group has a different one. The intentions of this will be to have students analyze this information and present it to their peers to "teach" each other. The text portions are challenging, so you should pair weaker readers with a partner as they research on this site. To show what they have learned from this site, challenge students to create an online interactive infographic to share using Visme, or an interactive timeline using Timeliner.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
