Measuring Seedling Growth
Hugo, Keira and Ngaio are looking after seedlings at a dinosaur dig camp. Measure carefully, use the same units when you compare, and answer each question. For the block measurements, each block is the same length.

- Use blocks of different sizes with gaps between them
- Stack the blocks in a pile beside the seedling
3.Use the chart: How many blocks tall is Rimu?
4.Use the chart: Which seedling is the shortest?
5.Use the chart: How many blocks taller is Rimu than Fern?
6.Put the seedlings in order from shortest to tallest: Fern, Rimu and Kōwhai.
