Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned how to grid a 1 meter area like an archaeologist. We applied our understanding of scale to the grid we created. Ask me what scale I used to show the 1 meter square.
How did you show what you learned?
We worked in teams and used a meter stick, string and popsicle sticks and measured a 1 meter square area of Whispering Woods.
What do you need to learn next?
We struggled to find exactly a meter, so next time we want to bring out 4 meter sticks or use a protractor to find exactly 90 degrees for the right angle. It also helps to use a bird's eye view for a better estimation.
We struggled with using the popsicle sticks as they were the same color as the forest floor. So next time we want to use darker sticks or find things that are taller so we can identify the markers more easily. It also helps to clear the area where you're working.
