The document discusses time zones around the world, noting that Greenwich, England is located at 0 degrees longitude and is used to measure time from, with time zones adding or subtracting one hour for every 15 degrees east or west; it explains that international date line follows the 180th meridian and results in a one day difference when crossing it west to east; and time zone boundaries sometimes adjust slightly within countries to avoid confusion by keeping entire states or provinces within the same time zone.

15. Understanding World Time Zones
1. The zero degree longitude line or the Prime Meridian passes
through Greenwich, a suburb of London.
2. The Prime Meridian not only divides the eastern from the
western hemisphere, but it is also where longitude and time is
measured from.
3. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is whatever time it is in the
main time zone, or the Prime Meridian Time Zone.

16. 4. To determine the standard time for any time
zone in the world, add one hour for each time zone
east of Greenwich. Subtract one hour for each
time zone counted in a westerly direction from
Greenwich.

17. 5. Look at the time zone map. The numbers
along the top of the map show what time it is
in each of the other time zones when it is
noon at the Prime Meridian.

18. 6. Notice that the boundaries of the time zones zigzag across land
areas. By general government agreement adjustments may be
made to keep countries, provinces, or states in a single time zone
to avoid confusion.
7. The International Date Line is at 180 degrees longitude. The
time is the same on both sides of the International Date Line, but
the day is different. West of the International Date Line (the
eastern hemisphere) it is one day later than it is east of the
International Date Line (the western hemisphere).

1. Make a group of 5 people.
2. Representative of each group choose a question
board in the Power Point
3. Listen to the audio about question “What time is it”
4. Which group can answer first will get 2 point.
5. If nobody can answer, teacher will open the question.
6. Which group can answer will get just 1 point.
