Activity Overview / Details
Draw the students' attention back to the binary clock again. See if anyone has figured out what it is. If not, explain that it is a clock. Now ask if any can figure out how it works. Give them time to discuss the workings of the clock and see if they can deduce how it keeps time. Have them compare the lights on the clock with another clock showing regular time. If they still are having trouble, direct them to this web site: http://www.kwista.com/for-fun/binary-clock-online/
