STEAM Clock Panel with Hourglasses

The STEAM clock panel with hourglasses is an ideal educational resource for introducing the concept of time, telling time, and perceiving the passage of time. It combines visual learning, hands-on manipulation, and small challenges, making an abstract concept simpler to understand.

Learning to tell time concretely and interactively

At the center of the panel is a clock with movable hands that allows for representing different times of the day. As the minute hand rotates, the hour hand moves proportionally, just like on a real clock.

This feature helps children better understand the relationship between minutes and hours. The panel thus allows for working on clock reading, visual association, and progressive comprehension of time.

A comprehensive resource for exploring time

In addition to the clock, this panel includes a challenge system with visual support, which can be used to propose tasks such as identifying or representing specific times. This approach makes learning more dynamic and encourages active participation.

The panel also includes two hourglasses that allow for visual observation of the passage of time. This element reinforces the notion of duration and helps children relate measured time to daily activities.

Key benefits

• Helps understand the notion of the passage of time
• Facilitates learning to tell time
• Promotes hand-eye coordination through manipulating the hands
• Encourages logical reasoning and attention
