Rabbit Trail: Pocket Watch
Estimated Time: 10 minutes
Edward has a rabbit-sized pocket watch. Pocket watches are very old and interesting. They used to be very important for telling time before we had clocks on our walls or phones in our pockets. But where did pocket watches come from? We’re going to find out by watching a video called The Pocket Watch: Where did it come from? In this video, we'll learn about a man named Peter Henlein, who was one of the first people to make clocks small enough to carry around. Isn’t that cool?
Did you know that trains helped make all the clocks in America tell the same time? We’ll watch a video called History of Railroad Pocket Watches to discover how trains were so important in making sure everyone's clock said the same time.
Have you ever seen a pocket watch?
