- I am glad you asked... timekeeping is measuring the passage of time.
-
- Now to call my good friend Galileo to help you
- Oh my gosh! Galileo!
- Now let's go to Ancient Egypt!
- Hello... young child.
- *POP*
- The sundial worked by a rod sticking out of the ground and hours after hours the users would mark the shadow of the rod of the reflection of the sun and as the sun moved so did the shadow of the rod
- According to most scientists the first clocks were known as sundials.
- The ancient Greeks and Egyptians used the sundial
- How did the clock work?
- Oh, the clock worked as water flowed down while spinning a wheel, a system of rods and levers marked time with a drumbeat and a bell and it usually marked the time as hours.
- In 725 the first mechanical clock was made. It was invented by Chinese monk Yi Xing and scholar Liang Lingzan.
- Why are we here in France? What was a clock that was made here!
- France Mid-Early 1400s
- Wow, France!
- Well, you see...
- A french duke was might of had in his possession that was the first mechanical clock that worked by springs; not weights or water/flow of water.
- Did you know that dukes name was actually...Phmillip the Good
- So how did scientists make even better clocks?
- 1650s
- But as time progressed scientists realized that those spring clock started to lose a certain amount of minutes per day, like four minutes per day.
- To solve this problem a scientist named Christiaan Huygens made the pendulum clock. Yes you may be thinking I madethe pendulums and yes, the clock did work by a weight swinging at a constant rate to mark seconds and minutes, plus these clocks were way more accurate than the spring ones.
