Help Great, Big Enormous Animals Objectives Students will measure. Students will research.
Procedures Take the children out on the playground.
Have them walk various lengths of different animals. Older children may want to use a ruler to get a more exact measurement. Let the children take chalk and draw off the dimensions on a sidewalk. Give children tape measures, rulers, meter sticks, scales, and other instruments to experiment with. Ask them to measure each other, riding toys, body parts, books, and other classroom objects.
