Wilson科學實驗之~~水時鐘(時鐘)

水時鐘，是利用水流的均勻性來測量時間。它的原理是將水以均勻的速度流入或流出容器，通過測量水位的變化來計算時間。

科學課我們利用保特瓶、膠帶、黏土、膠帶和木籤分組製作水時鐘，隨著每十秒倒數紀錄刻度的方式，來測試水時鐘的準確度。

WIES小科學家，大膽假設、小心求證！

A water clock, also known as a clepsydra, is one of the oldest time-measuring instruments, which link to our week topic-Historia. Its operation is based on the controlled flow of water into a container. It involves constructing a device where water is allowed to flow at a consistent rate, thereby providing a measure of time.

The primary objective of the water clock experiment is to understand how ancient civilizations measured time and to explore the principles of fluid dynamics and timekeeping. Participants will observe the flow rate of water, record the time it takes for a specific volume to accumulate or deplete, and analyze the accuracy and reliability of the water clock.
