Size is amazing!

A few of us were left in the class while extension maths and kapa haka took place.  We started by playing a game of 21 however we played in millions.  This got us thinking about numbers and how to write them.

We interacted with a cool site called 'Scale of the Universe'  then we used tape measures to check out the length of a giant earthworm.

Mrs H asked "Do you think we could fit an elephant or a giraffe in our room?" We found out they would fit sideways, but not standing up.

Next problem was how big is a T-Rex.  We used our flagpole and a tape measure.  We hooked it up and hoisted the tape measure up to see how tall it was.  A T-Rex is approx. 7 metres tall.
