Tape measure

In our math class, we were given the assignment to find the height of the flagpole outside our school. To find the height, we had to do four things: measure our heights, measure the heights of our shadows, measure the height of the flagpole’s shadow, and use our knowledge about similar triangles to create a ratio so we could figure out the actual height of the flagpole. While there was a lot of room for error, we did the best job we could when measuring, and found ways to avoid obstacles that could

Wind Erosion Background Wind Erosion is the process in which wind picks up dirt or particles and moves them elsewhere. Wind erosion most occurs in areas that are bare, flat and have dry or sandy soil, anywhere soil dry, loose, or finely granulated. Wind erosion is a serious environmental problem because of the positive effect it has, the more soil it moves the less room plants have to grow and the less plants there are means there are less roots to hold the soil in place making it more loose. It

Equipment: • 10 meter tape measure • light intensity meter • Identification key • Thermometer • soil depth spike • PH Probe • quadrat 0.5 by 0.5 Method: 1. Line up the tape measure from the chosen tree on the ground. 2. Place the quadrat on the ground next to the tape measure at 0cm 3. Count the number of squares in the quadrat where part of a daisy is present 4. Take the light intensity after each count of daisy's has being taken. 5. Move the quadrat to 1 meter and measure from 1 to 1.5

It was two in the morning, five hours before my team’s first robotics competition of the season. We’d already worked tirelessly, but were planning one last test run before going to bed. The robot was driving over the ramp when, all of a sudden, it stopped. The tank treads that we had researched and trusted had snapped in half. Most of us yelled in frustration, but not our team leaders, Max and Matt. They picked up the robot, brought it back to the work table, and within an hour, they had orchestrated

extension of study Cross-section: Done in a group, Primary Data To measure the cross sectional area, we stretched out a tape measure across the river from one side of the bank to the other. Starting at 0cm, we put a metre ruler into the water, ensuring that it touched the ground, and first measured to where the water stopped at the ruler to find the water depth. Then, we measured from the bottom to where the tape was stretched out to find the depth of the channel. We repeated this every 20cm

in Mr. John Gough’s property, ‘Pamplemousse Park’, 95 Mc Leans Ridge Rd, Wollongbar, Northern NSW. The plantation is a mixed-species rainforest, established in 1997. Equipment required for this practical exercise was clinometer, diameter tape, 30-measuring tape, basal area prism, point sampling ‘dendrometer’, ruler, calculator, booking board and writing implements 2.2. Methods There were two methods used in this exercise, including plot measurement and point sampling. Each followed the following

because the atlatl is a lever that acts as another joint of the arm, increasing both the leverage, force, and energy of a throw. To test this, I created an atlatl using a wooden branch with a spur sticking out of it, paracord, a rock, tape, a bamboo stick, duct tape, knife, and a saw. I carved the wooden branch to

These concepts determine how the researchers are going to measure an emotion or concept, such as the level of suffering or hostility. Easily measured variables are height, mass, volume, circumference, etc. Fairly easily measured variables are speed, distance, work, frequency range. Not easily measured variables

core (size?) • Tape measure • Timer • Tennis ball (0.058 kg) • Protractor • Pen • Ruler • Duct tape • Stack of books Procedure: 1. Begin with a large piece of foam core board and using ruler and pen, draw a straight line horizontally across approximately 0.21 meters away from one end of the board (this becomes your start line). 2. Collect a decent amount of books to stack on top of each other on a high table and lean the foam core against them (with pen-marked line at top). 3. Tape the “bottom” of
