HOW CAN WE MEASURE HIGH HEIGHTS? - CLIL UNIT

INTRODUCTION

How can we measure high heights? The fast and obvious answer is to get the top of the object we want to measure and use a measuring tape to do this action.

Ok, but what happens if we can´t do that?...

There are another options. We are going to construct a device to help us to measure any high object we want to. This artefact is called CLINOMETER.

With the clinometer and the help of our friend Pythagoras we are going be able to achieve it!!!

Set in three people groups and let´s go: let´s make your own clinometer!!! For this, you need this matherials:
