It’s That Time Again…

Daytime Saving Time ends today for much of my friends in Europe and it ends next Sunday for those people in North American states and provinces that observe Daylight Saving Time. As somebody who gets up early and lives in a northern state, I welcome the change as Ill see the sun an hour previously. And ideally, my kids will take benefit of the “extra” hour of time for sleeping next Saturday night.

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

Like I do nearly each time Daylight Saving Time ends or starts, I have actually gathered 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 explain Daylight Saving Time to your students..
National Geographic has 2 videos entitled Daylight Saving Time 101. The first one, published in 2015, is a bit more upbeat than the second one that was published in 2019. Both versions are embedded listed below..

The Telegraph has a 90 second explanation of Daylight Saving Time. The video does not have any narrative so it can be enjoyed without sound.

TED-Ed has two lessons that arent specifically about Daylight Saving Time however are related to the subject. The History of Keeping Time explains sundials, hourglasses, and the advancement of timezones.
