Lesson Plan

Teach Engineering: How Tall Are We?

Curated by ACT

Kindergartners measure each other's height using large building blocks, then visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure those learners. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in age-appropriate bar graphs (paper cut-outs of miniature building blocks glued on paper to form a bar graph) comparing the different age groups. The activities that comprise this instructional activity help students develop the concepts and vocabulary to describe, in a non-ambiguous way, how height changes as children get older. The introduction to graphing provides an important foundation for both creating and interpreting graphs in future years.
