Do you ever dream of being able to fly? The good news is, you
probably can! The bad news is, you cannot fly very high or stay
up very long. HOW HIGH CAN YOU FLY? - Large sheet of paper -
Dirt or stamp pad - Ruler or meter stick How high do you think
you can you jump? Get some of your friends together to find out.
- Tape a large piece of paper to the wall. (Brown wrapping paper
or sheets of newspaper will do.) The shortest person in your
group should be able to reach the bottom of the paper without
standing on tiptoes. - Dip one finger in dirt or ink. While
standing with your feet flat on the floor, stretch your arm as
far as you can and mark the highest point you can reach on the
paper. - Now jump and mark the paper by touching it at the top
of your jump. Try it a few times and challenge your friends to
jump higher. (Label each person's standing and jumping marks
with initials or have each person use a different color of ink
or dirt.) - Use a ruler or meter stick to measure the vertical
difference in height b
