Time

Gr 9 Up—The concept of time typically attracts little attention, except when we wish we had more of it in our lives. This engaging short program examines time from both micro and macro perspectives using crisp, clear, and effective still and animated graphics accompanied by a nicely-paced, low-key narration. The film is divided into seven brief concepts: a general introduction, the broad definition of time, both long and short time periods/intervals, a history from the solar cycle through mechanical to atomic timekeeping devices, the notion of time's one-way flow, an examination of time's constant and concrete pace, as well as postulation on the "end of time." Related terminology is displayed on the screen, defined, and often illustrated by the host's smooth narration. A popular choice for classrooms and media centers. This title will be popular in classrooms and media centers.—Dwain Thomas, formerly Lake Park High School, Roselle, IL
