Short Answer

Think and Answer

Answer these questions in your own words.

1. Ask a family member to walk across a room and count their steps. Then count your own steps across the same room. Who took fewer steps, and why do you think that happened?
2. Why do you think two people can get a different number of steps for the same distance?
3. Name one place in your house where you could count your steps to measure the distance.

These are open-ended - there's no single right answer to check.
