Introducing a new pack called - Running Course is in metric units
There is a three week planner that will engage students in the task of measuring a running course that they design.
They will brainstorm ways to make sure that the course is 1km.
Discuss and model how to step out a metre, check with trundle wheels or
measuring tape
Skills needed are measuring length, scale/ratio, time, weight, mass and
compass skills for direction.
There will be a large amount of class time needed for stepping out the
course and checking measurements.
There are three weeks of planners and depending on how your grade move
through the tasks they may take less or more time
