Week 07
On Tuesday, we were very lucky to go and measure as a group of more than 10 people, so our measurements were taken with less effort and time.

Ways to measure aspects of a real site:
To take pictures as a way to measure level heights in the station is a convenient method. We can measure the height of a person beforehand, and ask him/her to stand beside a pole. After the picture is taken, we can then use the person's height as a reference guide to measure the remaining height above his/her head.
To measure by footsteps, we can proximate the length of each station level. Similar to usin a person's height as a reference guide, we can use our feet as a reference guide. For smaller features like the handrail or gates, we can measure by our own hands or arms. We only need to take measurements of we use before using them to measure.
To proximate larger distances, we can first measure a station feature using the ways listed above, then stand further from the station feature and measure the feature using a pencil. After we get them to approximately the same length, we can then move the pencil horizontally across (before our eyes) to measure how many times it takes to get to another location. However many times there are, that means however many times the station feature's length should be calculated.
Extra people to help out would also increase the speed of the research. For example, 9 people can be separated as 3 groups of 3, and each group can measure a level.
- Ruler/tape measure
- Photo taking
- Measure by footsteps
- Measure by tiles
- Measure by different parts of the body... (eg arms, legs etc)
- Measure by eye
