Daylight Savings Sort

This worksheet introduces students to Daylight Saving Time (DST) and its global variations. Learners sort 14 listed countries into two groups: those that use DST and those that do not. The activity reinforces geographic awareness and time-keeping systems, emphasizing how nations adapt to Earth’s rotation and sunlight distribution. A critical thinking extension invites students to consider why some countries choose not to adopt DST. This strengthens global comparison skills and reasoning about environmental and cultural differences in time measurement.
