One, Two, Three, Four...

Do you know how they measured time a long time ago without clocks? I'm not too sure but we had to make our own one minute timers only using 3 cups, Blu Tac, 2 Pins, Tape, a Straw and 2 skewers. Most of us used the idea of an egg timer. I used the straw with tiny holes in it. The water slowly dripped but it didn't go for the amount of time that it was meant to. I got up to four minutes and then we decided to stop timing it because it was going for too long. I was kind of disappointed because I wanted it to work, but you can't always get it right the first time. Next time I know what I could do better, one of them would be not putting holes where they don't need to be.
