Classroom Note:

Definition Of Digital Wristwatch

A digital wristwatch is a type of watch that displays the time digitally (in numbers) rather than through a dial and hands. Unlike analog watches, digital watches may also include features like alarms, stopwatches, and backlights. They use electronic mechanisms to keep time.

Evaluation Questions:

  1. What is a digital wristwatch?
  2. Name two features that a digital wristwatch might have that an analog does not.
  3. Why do you think it is useful to have a digital wristwatch?

Note to Teachers:
Adapt the lesson plan to the specific learning pace of your pupils and the resources available. Use more visual aids if the children are visual learners or incorporate more discussion if they learn better through verbal engagement.
