Time and Temperature: the Railway Station Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes are written for this page.
🕒 Reading the clock
The short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. Each number is 5 minutes, so the number 4 means 20 minutes past.
⏱️ Units of time
60 seconds make a minute and 60 minutes make an hour. A day has 24 hours and a week has 7 days.
⌛ Duration
Duration is the time between a start and an end. Count up to the next hour, then add the rest.
📅 The calendar
A year has 12 months and 365 days, or 366 days in a leap year. Some months have 30 days and some have 31.
🌡️ Temperature
A thermometer measures how hot or cold something is in degrees Celsius. Water freezes at 0 and boils at 100.
📖 Case studies
Train timetables and weather reports are real case studies. Find the start, the end and the difference.

Time and Temperature Class 5 FAQs
How do you read time on an analog clock?
The short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. Each number on the clock is 5 minutes, so the long hand on 4 means 20 minutes past the hour.
How many minutes are there in an hour and seconds in a minute?
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and 60 seconds in 1 minute. So 5 minutes is 300 seconds.
How do you convert hours to minutes?
Multiply the hours by 60 and add the extra minutes. For example 2 hours 15 minutes is 2 x 60 + 15 = 135 minutes.
What is 24-hour time and how do you convert PM to 24-hour time?
The 24-hour clock counts from 00:00 to 23:59 with no AM or PM. For a PM time, add 12 to the hour, so 6 PM is 18:00 and 3 PM is 15:00.
How do you find the duration or elapsed time between two times?
Count from the start time to the next full hour, then add the whole hours, then add the last minutes. From 9:40 AM to 1:10 PM is 3 hours 30 minutes.
How do you find the end time when the start time and duration are given?
Add the hours and the minutes to the start time. A film that starts at 6:15 PM and lasts 2 hours 30 minutes ends at 8:45 PM.
How many days are there in each month and in a leap year?
April, June, September and November have 30 days, February has 28 days, and the other months have 31 days. A leap year has 366 days because February has 29 days.

There are 7 days in a week, 12 months in a year and 365 days in a normal year.

Temperature tells us how hot or cold something is. We measure it with a thermometer in degrees Celsius.
What are the freezing point and boiling point of water?
Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. Normal body temperature is about 37 degrees Celsius.
How do you find a rise or fall in temperature?
Subtract the smaller temperature from the larger one. If it rises from 18 to 31 degrees, the rise is 31 - 18 = 13 degrees.
What can children do on this page?
Children can take a 20-question online quiz with assertion and reason and case study questions, play five games, try five online activities, finish five challenges, run the Time and Temperature Lab and two virtual experiments, and fill in a 16-question practice sheet with a Show answers button.
