It’s That Time Again…

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

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

Like I do almost 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 explain Daylight Saving Time to your students..
National Geographic has two videos titled Daylight Saving Time 101. The first one, published in 2015, is a bit more upbeat than the 2nd one that was published in 2019. Both variations are embedded below..

Daylight Saving Time ends today for many of my good friends 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 “additional” hour of time for sleeping next Saturday night.

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