Shalom Time
A Session conducted by Zlife Astronomy Club, at the Shalom Hills International School, was on the topic of Time. The children learnt the definition and history of Time and also about its measurement over the ages - via sundials, water clocks and hour glasses. The ‘revolutionary’ concepts of Digital and Atomic Clocks were also introduced. Time-travel in the Universe was explained using natural Time machines - with a combination of black holes, white holes and worm holes. Finally, the Session provided a glimpse into the universally mystifying yet fascinating topic of a ‘Parallel Universe’. The children thoroughly enjoyed the activity of making their own sundials, using the materials provided, and also learnt how to use them.
