Used this in the first week of school to highlight some of the interesting content taught in psychology. Students were engaged! Highly recommend

Description

“Time flies when you’re having fun”, or so the saying goes. There must be more fun to be had as we age because as we age, the speeding up of time seems to be a commonly observed phenomenon. Moments, hours, and days often seem longer and more drawn out to children, while the same seem to be fleeting for their parents and other adults. Can science explain the reasoning behind this curiosity, or is it a figment of our imaginations?

In a YouTube video (7:40 in length), examines this phenomenon, along with numerous theories that might explain its existence. Challenge your students to not only examine their own journey through time but to clock the surprisingly variable speed of time itself.

Suggested Teaching Methods:

1. Pair students to watch and answer questions together.

2. Watch the video as a class, then assign questions as a follow-up activity.

3. Assign each student a question(s) to answer and share.

4. Use as a lesson plan for a substitute teacher.

5. Utilize as an extra credit or homework activity for a related topic lesson.

Student Outcomes:

1. Students will examine the scientific theories behind time perception.

2. Students will determine the relationships between time perception and age.

3. Students will observe the impact of different factors on time perception.

This lesson bundle includes a cover page, link to the Veritasium YouTube video, student response questions, answer key, and an extension activity.
