Mosser Glass: What is time?

What is time? Does the unit of time effect your daily life? How does it effect a business and an assembly line? Respond to each of these prompts in your journal and give detailed information. 

  Real World Situation: 

Imagine you are a glass blower that works for "Pirate Glass", you are a skilled craftsman that works on the factory floor with a team of other skilled glass makers. Today your team is creating a glass pitcher. How much time do you estimate your pitcher will take? What are the steps involved in the creation of your pitcher? Will the process take an hour, half-hour, 5 minutes, or perhaps 1 minute? 

Task: Complete a think-pair- share with a partner from your team to identify activities that take an hour, half hour, 5 minutes, and 1 minute . Compare/ contrast these activities to the production of glass. Recorded your estimate on the graphic organizer , then watch the process video of a team in Cambridge Ohio from mosser glass. Generate a list of step by step directions and the amount time each part of the process took. Task 2: Work with your team and create a business plan . Include name of your glass factory, hours of operation, describe your production rate and process.Determine the cost of each piece you plan to create. After calculating the length of production, record the number pieces can you create during your business day.
