World Clock – Fun with time

An Amazing World Clock (move the cursor to find the time in any country)

Source: http://www.qlock.com/time/

Check it out: http://www.qlock.com/time/ – Go to Overview – the map moves with the cursor.

I came across this site and I thought it would be a fantastic tool to learn about world map and the time difference in each country.

For example, if you look at the map above, it shows that Australia is day. If you place the cursor on the Australia map and check out the time. Then move the cursor to another part of the world, you will find out about the name of the country and its time.

Fun exercise you can work with your older kids –

• Move the cursor to any part of the world and name the town
  
• Note the day and time (International Time Zone)
  
• Move the cursor to another part of the world, note the country/town, day and time
  
• Calculate the time difference     

Also notice which part of the world is night time and which part is day time.

I find it really educational and hope you will too. Be creative and have FUN!

Love to hear your thoughts about it.
