Clocks are like little math machines that count seconds, minutes, and hours. Just like a teacher counts how many claps you make, clocks use numbers and patterns to keep track of time all day long. Some clocks are simple, like the ones on your wall, while others are super smart, using tiny parts to tell time almost perfectly.
Examples
- A grandfather clock counts seconds by the swing of a pendulum
- A digital watch uses numbers and math to tell time on your wrist
- An atomic clock is so accurate it loses only one second every 15 million years
