Selection 5 - L'histoire des calendriers

The concept of time has always fascinated humans. In this selection, students retrace the evolution of the calendar from the time of its creation. Students discover the origin of the months and the days of the week. Each student has the opportunity to create his or her own calendar or to imagine a world where time does not exist.
