How clocks work
Clock – this useful article from Wikipedia outlines the history and different types of clocks and clock mechanisms. Scroll to the bottom of the article to find links to specific types of clocks.
How clocks work from the ’How stuff works’ website has some interesting articles to help you understand how different types of clocks work including pendulum clocks, quartz watches, digital clocks, atomic clocks and wind up radio clocks. There is also a link to an article about time which may be useful.
Klockit – this website sells clock parts and mechanisms. It is useful to get pictures from. Use the links on the left side of the screen.
Design ideas
Katherine Lady Berkeley’s School and Chigwell School both have examples of clocks that have been made by their students for DT projects. House of clocks has images of over 1000 clocks, whereas Good directions has images of outside clocks.
