Measuring tree height

Today we went to the woods with the task of measuring the height of 5 trees. We stood in front of them, facing away from the tree, and bent over, looking through our legs. If we couldn’t see the top of the tree, we walked forward and tried again. We kept doing this until we could see the top of the tree, then measured the distance between us and the tree. It was not very accurate, but fun!
