Exploring Time in Philosophy

Does time slow down?

• Not really but it feels like it does and sometimes it feels like it goes fast.

When does it feel slow?

•        at night time,  Aoife
•        when you are bored,  Cooper
•        when the clock is broken, Kai Ying
•        when you are on a six hour road trip,  Rory
•        school time, Lucy
•        waiting for a special time

When does it feel like it is going fast?

•        when you are riding a bike because bikes are fast, Kai Ying
•        when you are having fun because you might be running around a lot, Cooper
•        play dates, Rory
•        when you are in a racing cars because racing cars are very fast, Aoife

Can you stop time?

• Smash a clock, Rory

How do we know that time has passed?

•        we are a little bit older, Erin
•    * we have had one more birthday than last time
•        when you have been somewhere and you haven’t been there for a long, long time. Lola
•        when the sun goes up or down a little bit, Rory
•        when day time has gone and it is night time, Lucy
•       when you look at the clock and the time has gone past, Aoife/Kai Ying
•        things might be different like a flower blooms and dies. Cooper
