The History of Time Keeping Contents Keeping time with the Sun Keeping time with the Stars Roman time keeping Keeping time with Water ... Links to Horology Sites It was most likely initiated in the Middle East and North Africa. A clock is defined as a device that consists of two qualities: A regular, constant or repetitive process or action to mark off equal increments of time . Early examples of such processes included movement of the sun across the sky, candles marked in increments, oil lamps with marked reservoirs, sand glasses ("hourglasses"), and in the Orient, small stone or metal mazes filled with incense that would burn at a certain pace. A means of keeping track of the increments of time and displaying the result Relaying the history of time measurement has a degree of inaccuracy, much like clocks themselves. What follows is, if not completely accurate, as close as many researchers can ascertain. Using the Sun The Egyptians are the first group of people that we can reasonably prove that took time-keeping seriously as a culture. Many believe that the Sumerians were thousands of years ahead of the game, but proof of this is only speculative.

A Brief History of Clocks: From Thales to Ptolemy By: Jesse Weissman Look at the comments on this paper. The earliest example, in western culture, of a celestial sphere is attributed to the presocratic philosopher Thales. Unfortunately, little is known about Thales' sphere beyond Cicero's description in the De re publica For Gallus told us that the other kind of celestial globe, which was solid and contained no hollow space, was a very early invention, the first one of that kind having been constructed by Thales of Mileus, and later marked by Eudoxus with the constellations and stars which are fixed in the sky. (Price 56) This description is helpful for understanding the basic form of Thales' sphere, and for pinpointing its creation at a specific point in time. However, it is clearly a simplification of events that occurred several hundred years before Cicero's lifetime. Why would Thales' create a spherical representation of the heavens and neglect to indicate the stars? Of what use is a bowling ball for locating celestial bodies? Considering Eudoxus' preoccupation with systems of concentric spheres, a more logical explanation is that Thales marked his sphere with stars, and Eudoxus later traced the ecliptic and the paths of the planets on the exterior. The celestial sphere in question probably resembled this

Earthbeat All in the Mind Health Report Ockhams Razor ... Science News Broadcast Saturday 21/10/2000 "Keeping Time" Summary: Canadian journalist Dan Falk looks at the history of time-keeping, which seems to have become increasingly important to us in the modern world. Transcript: Robyn Williams: Time. It can be stretched, reversed, even abolished. This week on the Science Show a slightly longer history of time. Dan Falk: Maybe you're one of the lucky ones. Maybe you don't need to wear a watch. Maybe you don't need to be anywhere next week at any particular time - but chances are you do. And chances are you do look at your watch, probably several times a day or more. Maybe you're a bit more particular. If you listen to this station at midday you can hear an electronic time signal that comes from an atomic clock, a machine that counts billionths of a second. You might wonder why we even bother to measure intervals of time so incredibly small, but it turns out that almost all of the technology that surrounds us depends on precision timekeeping. Television, computers, satellites, space probes, none of it would be possible without a mastery of time. Without the clock we would be living in a very different world. William Andrews: The invention of the mechanical clock was a fundamental invention in the growth of western civilisation.

Go back to Curriculum Overview INQUIRY PROBLEM: Tom is determined to build his own museum exhibit of clocks and watches, but he needs your help to find examples of clocks that have digital numbers, pendulums, battery power, electrical power, wristbands, springs, and even radio wave receivers. Can you locate clocks with these characteristics and more? The exhibit depends on you, because each kind of clock tells a different story of time. DESCRIPTION Replication Activity: Students learn object analysis, then apply this observation system to clocks brought from home. Final class activity is the assembly of your own class "Timeline of Timepieces" exhibit. History Lab Exhibit: Timeline of Timepieces TOPIC AREAS Chronology Technological innovation Interpretive writing MATERIALS NEEDED Internet access Wall space in class or other area Paper and board for creating and mounting labels Student clocks Artifact Detective Worksheets "Time Resource Kit" IMPLEMENTATION Present the Inquiry Problem to students a day or two before starting the project. This will give students time to search for different kinds of clocks and timekeepers.
