When you plan events and activities, it’s really important to understand time. Time is divided into different parts: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Each part helps us measure, plan, and organize our lives better.

Understanding Time Units

1. Seconds, Minutes, and Hours:

   • There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.
   • For example, if your presentation is 15 minutes long, you can change this to seconds by doing some math:
     15 minutes × 60 seconds/minute = 900 seconds.

2. Days and Weeks:

   • Each day has 24 hours, and usually, there are 7 days in a week.
   • If you are working on a project that lasts for 3 weeks, that’s:
     3 weeks × 7 days/week = 21 days.

3. Months and Years:

   • Most months have about 30 or 31 days. February is special because it has 28 or 29 days.
   • If you want to save money for something in 6 months, knowing there are about 180 days in that time can help you figure out how much to save each day.

How to Use Time in Real Life:

Imagine you are throwing a birthday party. Here’s how you can use time:

• Choose a Date: Pick a specific day and month for the party.
• Calculate Time: If the party starts at 3 PM and goes on for 2 hours, it will finish at 5 PM.
• Set Reminders: Make sure to set reminders one week before to send out invites and one day before to get ready for the party.

By understanding time in simple ways, you can manage your schedule better. This helps make sure everything goes smoothly and on time!
