A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL GIVING CHILDREN A GRAPSABLE PERSPECTIVE OF TIME USING CUBIC PROPORTIONS
WHAT IF…
one cubic millimeter equaled 1 year? Then…
1 cubic centimeter – 1000 years
1 cubic decimeter – 1 000 000 years
1 cubic meter – 1 000 000 000 years
1 cubic centimeter – 1000 years
1 cubic decimeter – 1 000 000 years
1 cubic meter – 1 000 000 000 years
WHAT FOR?
Use it to talk about time – all time: geological and historical.
What is it? It’s a pedagogical tool using cubic proportions to give perspective to time, aimed at kids.
What is it not? It’s not a chronological representation of time, nor is it a replacement of timelines.
