Position Activity

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.

Object	Distance (cm)
Cup	70
Book	-200
Coffee can	-150
Bell	-75
Rock	125
