Clock activity? Activities about time?

2008-09-01 Thread Bastien
Dear Chocolate Frosted Sugar Geeks,

is there a Sugar activity displaying a simple clock?

What activities can be used to teach things about time?  (seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries...)

Is there a simple calendar activity?  Can we manipulate the earth 
and visualize earth enlightenment depending on the position and the
hour of the day?

Any hint welcome.  Thanks!

Hi Bastien,

Yes; search for Clock on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities.

What activities can be used to teach things about time?  (seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries...)

I don't think there is one yet.  We could do this in a Pippy example,
or in eToys?

- Chris.

yes, but also it would be nice to have something like a ''time'' activity
that  could explain the physical meaning of time with examples and so on.
(Pygame or Etoys based).





 Any hint welcome.  Thanks!

  Last time around, I made this Etoy:

http://dev.laptop.org/~yoshiki/etoys/Clock.004.pr

The idea behind it was to be able to move hands around, and show
the relationship between the values and the angle of hands.
