Maharashtra State Board: Class 7
Experiment 2
To demonstrate the need for a standard unit of measurement.
- Measure the length of a bench using your handspan.
- Ask friends to measure the same bench using their handspans.
- Compare the results and observe that each person gets a different measurement.
- This happens because handspan size varies from person to person.
- The differences show why we need a standard unit of measurement, like the meter, to ensure accuracy and consistency in measurements.

Activity 1
To understand why handspans are not reliable for accurate measurement
- One student measures and cuts a string using four handspans.
- Other students repeat the process, measuring and cutting their own four-handspan-long string.
- Compare all the strings by holding them together at one end.
- The lengths of the strings will be different because each student’s handspan varies.
- This shows that handspans are not a reliable or accurate method of measurement, as they differ from person to person.
