<p>Here is a clever thing you can do:</p>
|
|
<div class="center80">
|
|
<p class="center large">Measure Yourself!</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Measure how wide your hand is, how long your arm is, the width of your fingernails and more!</p>
|
|
<p>Then as you are walking around you can measure <b>other things</b> using your body.</p>
|
|
<h2>The Activity</h2>
|
|
<p>You will need:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A ruler (for smaller measures)</li>
|
|
<li>A tape measure (for larger measures)</li>
|
|
<li>A measuring cup (optional)</li>
|
|
<li>Pen and paper</li>
|
|
<li>Yourself!</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p style="page-break-before: always">Measure using millimeters (mm) or inches (in). Try to do both if you can.</p>
