Comments:
My class used a string a stick a protacteur and a metal fishing weight .
It was fun we got to measure the shadow angle with the string and stick. The string an stick were the best part. I like using a string and stick the string is very fun to measure with. It is fun using the stick to measure. We read an Eratosthanenes book. All the people who measured walked around measuring like slaves.
