Heroic Measures
Activities for the Heroic
Measures unit are based on
objectives from the Mississippi
Science Frameworks.  Click
here to see the objectives that
relate to this unit.
It is amazing to see humans reach the extreme
more and more every year with their bodies.  We
see records broken, super strength and more all
the time. What makes our bodies reach these
limits?  What types of abilities do we have that
can be measured?  Who might break another
record?  Well if you want to find out more about
these things then the Heroic Measures unit will
do just that!  During our fourth nine weeks we
will study many different areas of the human
body and look at different forms of measurement.
