Wall Clock

Level: Beginner

Beginner projects can typically be completed with little tooling (if any). Assembly can be completed in 20-30 minutes. We recommend this project for students ages 7+.

Objective: Construct a wall clock & tell time

Students will learn the differences between telling time from an analog vs. a digital clock. Students have an opportunity to get creative and give their wall clocks a theme (e.g. roman numerals, standard numbers, illustrations that represent their hobbies).

Instructors then have an opportunity to reinforce learnings on telling time by prompting questions such as:

• What does A.M. and P.M. stand for?

• How many hours are in a day?

• Why are there only 12 numbers on the face of the clock?

• What surprised you about building your wall clock?

Supplies & Materials:

The following supplies & materials are included with this project:

• Wooden circle for face of clock

• Clock dial & small parts (washers, screws, hooks for hanging)

• Battery for clock dial

• Clock hands

• Sandpaper

Art supplies are not included but can be provided upon request.
