Standard Measurement – Working with time

This lesson comprises two (2) master classes focusing on:

• Time and time zone calculations
• Positions on the Earth's surface

Content:

MS-M2

• Indicate positions on the Earth’s surface
  • locate points on Earth’s surface using latitude, longitude or position coordinates with a globe, an atlas and digital technologies, eg a smartphone or GPS device
  • understand and use the link between longitude and time to find time differences
• Calculate times and time differences around the world
  • review using units of time, converting between 12-hour and 24-hour clocks and calculating time intervals
  • understand and use the link between longitude and time to find time differences
  • solve problems involving time zones in Australia and in neighbouring nations, making any necessary allowances for daylight saving
  • solve problems involving Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and the International Date Line (IDL)
  • find time differences between two places on Earth using recognised international time zones
  • review how to interpret timetables, eg bus, train and ferry timetables, and use them to solve problems
  • solve practical problems, eg travelling east and west, incorporating time zones, or internet and phone usage across time zones, or the timing of events broadcast live from states of countries between different time zones
