1. TYPE II & III WEBQUEST
PART III
TIME ZONES & TIMELINE

2. Welcome to our Webquest Part III.
We measure the day by saying that the sun is at it's
highest point at 12 o'clock, midday. Because the
earth spins, as it travels around the sun, one half of
the earth is in darkness and one half in light, all the
time. This brings us to a problem. If it is midday
where you are, on the opposite side of the earth, it is
dark, so what time is it on the opposite side of the
world? We invite you to learn about time zones
& time lines.

3. Task 1: Read about What are Time Zones By Cindy
Grigg and answer the questions in your notebook (you
can print and paste in your notebook!).
Task 2: Display differences in time zones, use several
clocks to show different hours at different places. For
example, clock A can show 8 a.m. in Hawaii, Clock B
can show 11 a.m. in Los Angles, Clock C can show 7
p.m. in London, etc.)
.

5. A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in
chronological order, sometimes described as a project
artifact. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar
labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events
labeled on points where they would have happened.
Task 5. Make a timeline about the time zones history.
Research the sites from b-le@rning. Use the links from b-
le@rning to build your online timeline.
