Students are learning about time zones this week. In addition they will have a classroom and homework assignment were they will calculate time in different parts of the world using a time zone map and the time in Pensacola, FL.
located below is the powerpoint presentation that I showed to the students the first week of school that goes over different policies, procedures and rules. Students and parents that have older computers may not be able to view the document below. I have provided the original powerpoint file for those individuals or if you prefer to view the presentation in whole screen mode.

Student's can use the world map below to calculate specific time zones. Remember you subtract as you move west and add as you move east from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or time zone 0.
This is a very short but excellent explanation of how time zones originated and how they work.
This is an additional video resource that explains time zones in a little more detail.
