The making of clocks in the classroom is very versatile. It provides a lot of scope, as it can be used in almost all subjects and tailored to most age and skill levels. Clock making develops the students’: imagination, research, design, planning and manufacturing skills, incorporating a variety of materials. Students can develop their own design or follow the teachers’ guidelines. An added bonus is that it is a cost effective unit of work which provides a useable end product. There are two main types of Clock Construction:

(1) the CLOCK MOVEMENT, with a choice of hands and numerals

(2) the INSERT CLOCK, where the complete clock is inserted into a hole from the front.
