• • Elaboration recording observations through text, drawing, counts, digital photography or video
• • Elaboration engaging in a guided discussion about how to measure something in a fair way
• • Elaboration using familiar units of measurement such as cups, handspans, walking paces, blocks or pencil lengths
• • Elaboration representing informal measurements with concrete objects, such as drawing chalk lines and using lengths of string to measure shadows
• • Elaboration exploring how digital tools can be used to make observations, such as simple clap-o-meter apps that measure sound volume, time lapse digital photography for observing apparent movement of celestial objects or slow-motion videos for observing a vibrating ruler
