Here is a simple idea for students to practice accurate measurement and position with a reference point:
Front of the room is positive motion and back of the room is
negative motion
Materials:
Meter stick, cup, masking tape, coffee can, book, bell, rock
Procedure:
- Have students create a table with object versus position in centimeters. A piece of masking tape will be their reference point.
- Students will work with partner to complete the table by making accurate measurements which will include the correct sign.
