What is one Second - Knowit?

A second is the time it takes for your heartbeat to go thump, just once!

Imagine you're eating a piece of candy. The moment you start chewing, that’s one second. If you count 1-2-3, each number happens in about a second. A second is also how long it takes for a light to blink on and off, like the little light above your fridge!

But seconds can be fun too! When you jump up and down, that whole motion, from jumping to landing, happens in just a few seconds. A second is also how long it takes for a clock’s hand to move one tiny tick, tick-tock, tick-tock!

So whether you're counting candy or bouncing around, a second is all about time, simple, fun, and always there! A second is the time it takes for your heartbeat to go thump, just once!
