Grades K-1 learn why we “spring forward” in the spring and “fall back” in the fall. A Spanish translation can be found here.
Grades 2-3 explore the time Samoa changed time zones and lost an entire day. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
Grades 4-5 investigate the pros and cons of daylight saving time. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
