For my summer 2019 internship, I had the honor to teach at NYOS Charter school, for Mrs. Lowery's 7th and 8th grade middle school class. 

​

For this maker lesson, students were to create their own unit of measurement and make their own tool, or object showcasing their system of measurement being used.

 

Afterward, students researched how their unit of measurement could be converted to the metric system, and learned the history behind how the gram, meter, and second came to be and how they are measured today!
