Measuring The Ice Cave And Volcano Trails
In planning for your field trip, you may want to discuss how long the tour will take, how long the trails are, and what the students may want to take with them. Decisions about what to take may be made more reliably by determining the length of the trails ahead of time. Click on the picture above to bring up a full sized view.
This may take a little time to load! If you have screen capture capabilities on your computer, capture the larger image and print it out. You can also print the picture directly from your browser to a laser printer. If you can't print the image, you may work directly on the screen. Have students determine the length of the trails by using a transparent metric ruler. The scale is approximately 2 millimeters = 40 feet. What else can you find to measure in the picture?
