I love to create situations where my students "wonder" about something. I had seen several circle of fifths clocks. I loved the idea, but didn't want to spend the money. There are lots of circle of fifths images available on Google, so I printed a copy of my favorite and Mod Podged it onto a circle of wood. I added a clock mechanism that I bought at a craft store and had my own circle of fifths clock for under $7.
The circle of fifths I chose, does not have as much information on it as I would like, but the image is interesting and it is a great way to introduce the concept. I haven't made a big deal about the clock and have loved the shock on the kid's faces when they notice that it is not a "regular clock".
