Understanding Daylight Savings Time

It\’s that time again! This last weekend, most of us \”sprung forward\” with Daylight Savings Time. This year we\’ve compiled a collection of DST resources for your classroom.

• Daylight Saving Time – A Historical and Practical Guide (a larger version of the great infographic pictured & the accompanying article)
• The World Time Zone Map
• About Daylight Saving Time – History, Rationale, Laws & Dates
• Daylight Savings Time – A Guide from About.com/Geography Education
• And – if you didn\’t like the time change, read National Geographic\’s article, which argues against DST

At GISetc.com we curate and bring you the best geography and science resources from the web. We hope our sharing will keep you up to date on the latest science and geospatial news.
