Classwork
The 27th annual Dilloughery balcony challenge (with a giant crane to boot)!
Goal:
Be the group to most accurately measure the height of these two locations below, without disturbing other classes that are in session!
Challenge #1 - Find the height of the top of the railing on Lily Dilloughery's balcony, using the bottom of the Lanterna stairs as ground level. The "bottom of the Lanterna stairs" means the walkway you would walk on if you went from Lanterna 1 to Lanterna 3. In case you don't know where Lily Dilloughery lives, her balcony is directly above the main Lanterna stairs on the side with the amazing view of the lake.
Challenge #2 (more difficult) - Find the height of the tip top of the yellow crane, using the field in the front of campus as ground level. The field I am talking about is the one between the parking lot, the admissions office, the construction of the new science building, and the small amphitheater on the hill.
Basic Outline:
1. Get into a group and begin to plan. Specifically focus on these things: What will you use to measure distance and angles? Plan what measurements you will take.
2. Get outside and start measuring
