They measure themselves and their shadow, then measure the shadow of the tall object, and then draw similar triangles and solve for the missing height.]]> 2022-01-14 19:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fivestarpd/t20n5nz044dr7eso/wish/1992894576 https://wodb.ca/ - NHES https://padlet.com/fivestarpd/t20n5nz044dr7eso/wish/2000516845 These are helpful to get a conversation going, especially in math, they are not bound to a specific grade level. 

Another approach would be to play an audio clip and have the students visualize what is happening. This could lead to a multi-faceted conversation. (btw...it works!)
