Students use standard and non-standard units to measure their worlds in this physical science unit for grades K-2. Students use their feet, pencils, Unifix® Cubes, and more to measure common objects. The unit also teaches the need for fair tests, beginning and ending points, and standardized measuring systems which will be integral to future science investigations.
The STC Program™ is a basal, inquiry-based science curriculum for grades K–10 that covers life, earth, and physical sciences with technology. STC™ was developed by the National Science Resources Center based on research into how students learn best. The NSRC was established by the National Academies and the Smithsonian Institution.
