This engaging outdoor measuring activity encourages students to experiment with non-standard units of measurement! Instead of using traditional units, students will choose creative alternatives, such as leaves or stones, to measure objects in the outdoor space. They'll record their measurements in a table, making this a fun, hands-on learning experience. For an added challenge, students can convert their "weird units" into centimeters as an extension activity.
