Time

Time is when an event is happening.

There are different ways to measure units of time. They are: singing, egg timer, and water clock.

Singing a song has different tempos/speed depending on how fast or slow someones singing it. Washing your hands mostly take about 20 seconds. Making a batch of pancakes mostly takes about 30 minutes.

The water timer is used to get all the water out of the cup from the bottom by the time an activity has been done. The water timer took 2 minutes and 3 seconds. 

The egg timer is used to count down the number of minutes depending on someones process on something. Boiling eggs takes about 6 to 8 minutes depending how soft someone wants it. 

There are many other ways to measure non standard time. Singing in your head is easier and fun rather than having a 20 second timer while someone washes their hands.

  1. Hi Chisa, there sure are a lot of different ways to measure time. It is good to know you don't always need a watch to time things if you have a good idea about how long things take? How long does it take you to get school in the morning?

  2. Greetings Chisa,

    Interesting ways you have thought of measuring time. I thought making your own water time was really creative. Are there any other ways you can think of measuring time?

    1. Greetings Te Raumati,

      Thank you for commenting on my blog post. One of the ways to measure time is using a sand timer. Are you interested in making a water clock, and why?

    2. Hi Chisa,

      Thank you for answering my question. I'm not really interested in making a water clcok because I don't really know what a water clock is. Why did you decided to make a water clock insted of a sand clock?
