And if we ever forget, we can always ask our parents! How do you think you find out how old a tree is? When a tree has been cut down, you can count its "rings" in order to tell how old it is, but what about when it is alive? We can't ask a tree how old it is. But there is a way! What You Need: Tree Measuring tape Marker Pen Paper Helper What You Do: Help your child find a tree that is at least as tall as a grown up and have your child wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of the trunk. Did You Know? Every year a new layer of growth occurs just under the bark. Introduction to US Standard Units. An Introduction to US Standard Units Also known as "English Units" or "US Customary Units" Wow, I just flew in from planet Micron.
It was a long flight, but well worth it to get to spend time with you! My name is Maggie in your language (but you couldn't pronounce my real name!) When I first arrived I couldn't understand how you measure things, but my friend Tom taught me all about measurement, and I am going to share with you everything he taught me. The first thing Tom told me was that you can measure things using two different systems: US Standard Units and Metric.
Today is my day to learn US Standard Units ! Liquids The first thing I need to know when asking for a drink is the types of units used to measure liquids, which are: Fluid Ounces Cups Pints Quarts Gallons (Tom also told me that I can measure things using measuring cups) So now I know that 1 ounce is too small for me, but 1 gallon would be too much.

In many fourth grade classrooms, kids study state history as part of their social studies curriculum, and teachers often use lots of hands-on activities to bring the past to life.
Here’s one project that may be a little challenging for today’s fourth graders, but was a common craft for children in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: make a handcrafted potholder! There are a multitude of quilt designs to choose from, but this one comes from the Amish of Pennsylvania who were (and are) devoted to a lifestyle of simplicity. The Amish used only solid colored fabric in their work and continue to do so today. This potholder activity gives kids practice in calculating measurement, an important skill in both elementary math and science. Once your child has completed this potholder, don’t hesitate to do others with her—each one will be one more useful step to math mastery.
What You Need: What You Do: First, create the patchwork piece. Choose one corner and sew on the ring. Untitled. Strand: Measurement.
