Measurement Rules

“Measurement Rules,” introduces the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) concept of measurement to children through interactive, hands-on experiences. Children can gauge height, distance, volume and other measurements in relation to the world around them using traditional and not-so-traditional tools. At this exhibit, visitors can:

• Tinker with instruments such as calipers, height gauges and go/no-go gauges.
• Build their own ball ramp to experiment with time and speed
• Measure their own volume in cubic-inch blocks
• Explore volume at an open bead table
• Play with balance using objects and standard scales
• Find out how many chickens they weigh, and much more!
