Time in a bottle

We were practicing telling time today along with our Unit study of the middle ages so we made an hourglass. The kids had fun measuring the sand and then they had to time how long it took for the sand to fall from one bottle to the next. We found out that we had a 4 minute glass. Maybe we'll use this for timing our chores. They were fascinated to see how many things they would have to do without if they lived in the Middle Ages. We also started reading Knights at dawn from the Magic Treehouse Collection.
