You most likely have some sense of what a measurement is (it's a pretty important thing for most of your program courses!) The idea behind measurements is that we're assigning a quantifiable number to some aspect of a thing.
For instance, say I'd got a bag of sugar. I could measure:
Each of these types of measurements has a number of different units of measure, each of which really depends on if the quantity is really small or really large.
If you are trying to measure out a space for a vendor, you will need to determine the width and length of the space needed. Additionally, if it was for a ride like a roller coaster, you would also want to know how high it was so you could be sure there were no over head wires that it might hit.
Activity 1: Team Discussion
There will be many vendors who want a place at the fair. It is now time for the committee to decide how many the space can handle and mark off spaces in each area. Now that you have the major concession areas identified, it is time to decide how many vendors you can accept and how much room you will give each. For this task you can choose to focus on the food vendors or the game vendors. Determine how much room each will need and how many the space you previously designated for this category of concession will hold.
Discuss how you will go about making this decision. What resources and more information do you need? Where will you find this information?
Activity 2: Length Measurements
With a partner review the Module 4 Instructions on Length Measurement.
Then find at least 12 items to measure in length. Check each others measurement.
Activity 3: Weight Measurements
With a partner review the Module 4 Instructions on Weight Measurement.
Then find at least 12 items to weigh. Use different types of scales to measure. Check each others measurement
Activity 4: Volume Measurements
With a partner review the Module 4 Instructions on Volume Measurement.
Then find at least 12 items to weigh. Use different measuring tools. Check each others measurement
Activity 5: Converting Between Units
With a partner review the Module 4 Instructions on Converting Between Units. Check out the videos in the Instructions if you need more help.
Each partner should make a list of measured units and what you want them converted to. Then trade your lists and try to make the conversions.
Activity 6: Metric
With a partner review the information on the metric system in the Module 4 Instructions. Watch the videos to learn more.
Go back to the items you measured for length, weight, and volume and convert them to metric.
Project Assignment:
Now that you have the major concession areas identified, it is time to decide how many vendors you can accept and how much room you will give each. For this task you can choose to focus on the food vendors or the game vendors. Determine how much room each will need and how many the space you previously designated for this category of concession will hold. Here are step-by-step instructions to complete this task. You can use the plan you started in the Task to help.
