It’s That Time Again…

The Telegraph has a 90 2nd explanation of Daylight Saving Time. The video does not have any narration so it can be seen without sound.

Like I do almost each time Daylight Saving Time ends or starts, I have actually gathered together a handful of short video descriptions about why we have Daylight Saving Time. See and take an appearance if there is one that can assist you describe Daylight Saving Time to your students..
National Geographic has actually two videos entitled 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 below..

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

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

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