(1) What is clock?

A clock can be defined as a device that tells the time. 

Analog clocks use angles to tell time. These clocks have hands rotating around the clock’s face.

Digital clocks have LCD and LED displays and use numbers to show the time.

1) Watch

A Watch is a type of clock that is small and can be carried. Watches are usually worn on a person's wrist. At one time, watches were commonly kept in the person's pocket.

Before the 1970s, all watches had a numbered dial with a rotating hour hand and a longer minute hand. Since the 1970s, digital watches have been available. Digital watches have small computers inside to keep the time. Instead of having a dial and hands, a digital watch shows the time as a number

2) Clock

A clock is a device that tells the time. Some clocks can give the date as well as the time and a few give other information. There are different types of clocks.

* Cuckoo clock

A cuckoo clock is a kind of clock. Cuckoo clocks have a case made of wood that looks like a small house. It gets its name because at the start of every hour, a small door on the clock open up and a little wooden bird comes out. The clock then makes a noise which sounds like a bird call ( "Koo-Koo" or "cuckoo").

The clock makes the sound one time for each hour it is, and there may also be a bell that rings when the sound is made. Whether it is morning or night does not change the number of times this happens.

For example:

1 o'clock in the afternoon = 1 "cuckoo"

8 o'clock in the morning = 8 "cuckoos"

8 o'clock at night = 8 "cuckoos"

* Digital clock

Digital clocks use numbers to show the time. Digital clocks are usually smaller and easier to both use and read than analog clocks but they can also be made much larger. New digital clocks can even correct themselves using the internet or radio signals.

Would you like to be a digital clock?

I will be the internet signal. I will tell you what time it is. You should correct yourself.

* Grandfather Clock

A grandfather clock (also a longcase clock, tall-case clock, grandfather's clock, or floor clock) is a tall, freestanding, weight-driven pendulum clock with the pendulum held inside the tower or waist of the case.

You're a grandfather clock. Can I hang you on the wall? Why?

S: No, I am too big.

Yes, you are big and tall. So you can stand on the floor by yourself. I always put the grandfather clock on the floor.

Show me your pendulum.

S: We can use the stick as a pendulum.

You can put your pencdulum in your tower. And then you can swing your pendulum from side to side.

Alarm clock

Alarm clocks help you start your day off the right way.

A clock with an alarm can wake you up, get you out of bed, and ensure you are never late.

3. How to read a clock

Reading a clock is a skill that's easy to master with a little time and effort. Clocks are divided around a circle and reading the minute and hour hand individually helps you tell time.

(1)read an analog clock

First, let's learn the clock face.

An analog clock has a numbered dial with a rotating hour hand and a longer minute hand.

The blue short hand is hour hand and the longer red hand is minute hand.

Circle the minute hand. circle the hour hand.

Which hand is longer? Which hand goes faster?

S: Minute hand.

(2)Read a digital clock

With a digital clock, you simply read the hour and minutes.

This is a digital clock. Can you tell me what time it is?

S: 10:10

This 10 means hour.

S: I know this 10 means minute.👍👍

(3)Analog clock and digital clock

Let's match the analog clock and the digital clock. both of them can express time.

What time is it? It shows 1 and two zeros. It is 1 o'clock.I will give you a time on the analog clock. Can you match them?

Yes, you are right. This is 1 o'clock. The hour hand points at 1, the minute hand points at 12. Could you please put it on the right place?

......

(大班后拓展)Learn how a clock is divided. A clock is divided into 12 sections. On top of the clock, you will see a "12." To the right of the "12," you will see a "1." If you follow the numbers, going right or "clockwise," they will move from "1" to "12."

The numbers marking each sections are the hours.

① Use the hour hand （big hand）to read the hour.

Clocks have 2 hands: a little hand and a big hand. The little hand marks the hour.so it is called hour hand，another one is minute hand.

For example, if the hour hand is pointing to "1," it's in the 1 o'clock hour.

If the minute hand is pointing to 12. it is called 1 o'clock. We can write it in this form:“1：00”，

Now I'll dial the hand and you write the time.

I write the time, can you dial the hands?

②Use the minute hand to read the minutes.

The numbers have double meaning, number 1 also means 5 minutes and that the number 2 also means 10 minutes can be quite confusing.

Make sure to point out that you are counting by 5s. Go over each number’s secret identity by singing your special “Count by 5s” song.

For example, point the minute hand at 2 and say, “It is 10 minutes now.”

Then point the minute hand at 3 and say, “It is 15 minutes now.”

③ Put these together to get the time .

Once you have the concept of the minute hand down, we can read the hour and minute hands together. Start with simple times such as 1:30, 2:15, 5:45, and so on. Point the hour hand at a number, then point the minute hand at a number. Then say what time it is.
