Description
Class Experience
Time is important. We mark our lives through years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Clocks are essential for informing us of the time and keeping us on schedule. Around London, there are some famous clock as well as some quirky, unknown clocks. We will take a look at 10. Also, we refer to time here as Greenwich Mean Time. What is that? Who invented it? We will explore this topic as well! You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much you will learn about clocks in this class! Join me...
