How do you measure up to a whale? Draw yourself in proportion to larger and smaller creatures.
1.
Discuss the relative scale of human beings to large animals such as elephants or whales. How many people (standing or shoulder to shoulder) would it take to be the same length as a whale? Then compare the average person's height to a smaller creature, like a cat. How many cat-lengths would it take to be as tall as you are? Estimate the relative scale for several different creatures. Record your findings with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils.
2.
Choose an environment, such as a barnyard, rainforest, desert, or sea. What animals live there? Which are bigger and smaller than you? Estimate and then research their sizes. Measure yourself with a yardstick. Compare findings to your estimates.
