Introduction

Good morning, Year 5! Today, we're about to embark on an exciting adventure through time as we explore the fascinating topic of Measurement – Time. But before we dive into our lesson, let’s kick things off with a fun and interactive activity that will set the stage for our learning.

Activity: Time Capsule Challenge

Step 1: The Scenario

Imagine you’re a time traveller from the year 2123, and you’ve just arrived in 2023! Your mission is to gather essential information about how time is measured today. You’ll need to complete a series of assignments within a set time frame (don’t worry, I’ll keep track of the time!).

Step 2: Forming Teams

• Form groups of 4-5 students.
• Each group will receive a "Time Capsule" envelope containing different "artifacts” related to time measurement (these could be images or descriptions of clocks, calendars, sundials, or even historical references).

Step 3: The Challenge

Your objective is to gather as much information as possible about each artifact in the time capsule. You have 10 minutes to discuss with your team and identify:

• What each artifact is.
• How it was used to measure time.
• Why it's important in understanding our current methods of measuring time.

Step 4: Sharing Our Findings

Once the time's up, each group will have 2 minutes to present their findings to the class. Make sure to use clear and exciting language, as you are sharing this valuable knowledge as future time-travel guides!
