Visit
your local
park.
Choose
a tree for
this activity
and then follow
these simple
steps to measure
the height
of your tree:
1.
Get a partner
to measure
your height.
2. Stand next
to the tree
with your
partner 10m
away.
3. Your partner
holds up a
stick at arms
length.
4. They must
line the top
of the stick
with your
head. Mark
the stick
with chalk
where it lines
up with your
feet.
5. Estimate
how many times
the marked
length goes
into the height
of the tree.
6. Multiply
your height
by this number
to work out
how tall your
tree is.
