With a tape measure or yard stick, measure the heights of five different people.
You can measure parents, siblings, friends, or family members.
You can even measure yourself.
Make a chart to show the heights, in order from tallest to shortest. Your chart should include:
- Each person's name and a picture of each person's face. (Faces can be neatly drawn, or
photographed.)
- Each person's height in inches, as well as feet and inches. (For example, you might list
someone as 5', 9” tall and 69” tall)
- Each person's signature, to verify that you have measured them carefully and accurately.
(Everything else should be in your own handwriting.)
At the top of your chart, list the tallest person. Below that, list the second tallest. Then, list the
third tallest, and so on.
