The amount of sunlight we have each day changes with the seasons. We change our clocks twice a year to make the most use of the light.
When Daylight Savings Time ends each fall, we turn our clocks back by one hour. This means waking up to brighter mornings and watching the sun set sooner each day throughout the winter.
Fall Back Fox can help you remember which way to move the clock each fall backwards!
Instructions
1) Cut a long strip of cardstock.
2) Fold the strip 1/3 from one end.
3) Tape one end of the strip to the other end. It should look like the letter “D.”
4) Cut out shapes from cardstock to make fox’s head, tail, paws, and ears.
5) Tape the shapes to the strip. Decorate and personalize your fox with markers.
Brainstorm and Share!
Make a clock face out of cardstock. How might you use the clock and your Fall Back Fox to show someone else how the time changes at the end of Daylight Savings Time?
