It’s That Time Again…

CGP Greys video explanation of Daylight Saving Time is still a great one even if it isnt as concise as the videos above.

TED-Ed has 2 lessons that arent specifically about Daylight Saving Time but are related to the topic. Initially, The History of Keeping Time explains sundials, hourglasses, and the development of timezones. Second, How Did Trains Standardize Time in the United States? discusses the function of railways in the development of the timezones used in the United States (and most of Canada) today.

Like I do almost every time Daylight Saving Time starts or ends, I have collected together a handful of brief video descriptions about why we have Daylight Saving Time. See and take a look if there is one that can help you describe Daylight Saving Time to your students..
National Geographic has 2 videos titled Daylight Saving Time 101. The first one, published in 2015, is a bit more upbeat than the 2nd one that was released in 2019. Both versions are embedded listed below..

Daylight Saving Time ends today for much of my pals in Europe and it ends next Sunday for those of us in North American states and provinces that observe Daylight Saving Time. As somebody who gets up early and lives in a northern state, I invite the modification as Ill see the sun an hour previously. And hopefully, my kids will take advantage of the “additional” hour of time for sleeping next Saturday night.

The Telegraph has a 90 second description of Daylight Saving Time. The video doesnt have any narrative so it can be watched without noise.
