Daylight Savings Time Begins
14/03/10
The concept of Daylight Savings Time centers on better use of daylight. The added benefit is that changing the clock twice a year helps us to converse electricity.
In the spring, we move the clock ahead one hour to give ourselves an extra hour of light at night—meaning we don’t need to turn on lights until later. Did you know that Daylight Savings Time happens on different days in different parts of the world? Find out what day the clocks change in Nuuk and Murmansk or other places across the globe.
Commemorate “springing forward†by reciting this classic rhyme with your child:
Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down!
Hickory, dickory, dock
