About This Practice

The second is the unit of time smaller than the minute. Tap “Start” to run the stopwatch: the second hand sweeps around as the count ticks up second by second, and at 60 it celebrates “60 s = 1 min”. Children feel how long a second really is by living through it.

Tap “Start” to run the stopwatch: watch the second hand sweep around as the count ticks up. At 60 seconds it celebrates “60 s = 1 min”. Reset anytime to count again.
