Clock Chimes—Westminster Quarters, Whittington, Ave Maria and Saint Michael’s are the chime patterns traditionally heard on chiming clocks in the United States.

Hear and download both versions as well as all the others on this page. |

The Official & Almost Exact US Time—Provided by the two US time agencies: a Department of Commerce agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and its military counterpart, the U. S. Naval Observatory. Signals from the server are delayed in transit over the Internet, so this link starts a clock running that shows a +/- deviation from the “real” time.

Build A Home Weather Station —It doesn’t matter whether you’re only eight or well past eighty! Building a simple, homemade weather station and learning to use it to make accurate forecasts can be very interesting and a whole lot of fun.
