Tree Habitats



the other day 4J measured trees with miss jolly and miss jeffery. we measured the crown,the circumference,we also measured,width and the height.We used a meter ruler to measure how big the tree was. We used a one and a half metre string to measure the width of the tree and a click wheel to measure the crown. we had about 5 groups. we used string, chalk, scissors and click wheels. We also measured the height of the tree. we did that by getting thr ratio of the shadow at that time it was double the height so, we measured the shadow it was 17m. and divided that by two and the height of the tree was 8.5m. i think measuring trees is fun!
