🔬 Activities
Activity 1: Measuring circumference of a coin
A thread is wrapped around the edge of the coin and marked. The thread is straightened and measured.
👉 This gives the circumference of the coin.
Activity 2: Finding thickness of a coin
Ten identical coins are stacked and total height is measured. Thickness = total height ÷ 10.
👉 This gives more accurate value.
Activity 3: Finding diameter of a wire
Wire is wound around a pencil. Length is measured and divided by number of turns.
👉 This gives diameter of the wire.
Activity 4: Measuring length of a curved handle
A thread is placed along the curved handle of a cup and marked. The thread is then straightened and measured with a ruler.
👉 This gives the length of the curved handle.
