It’s That Time Again…

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

Like I do practically each time Daylight Saving Time ends or starts, I have actually collected together a handful of short video explanations about why we have Daylight Saving Time. Take a look and see 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, released in 2015, is a bit more positive than the 2nd one that was released in 2019. Both versions are ingrained below..

TED-Ed has two lessons that arent particularly about Daylight Saving Time however are associated to the topic. Initially, The History of Keeping Time describes sundials, hourglasses, and the development of timezones. Second, How Did Trains Standardize Time in the United States? describes the function of railways in the development of the timezones used in the United States (and the majority of Canada) today.

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

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