How far is one Kilometer?

To discover how far a kilometer is, the B2 children went on a kilometer walk.  Each group used a different method to measure the 1000 meters. One group used a measuring wheel while another group used the pedometer on their watch. We also used various other measuring devices, such as a 2-meter-long measuring stick, a 50-meter-long measuring tape, and a 3-meter-long piece of string. We also tried seeing how far a kilometer is by knowing how long it takes the average person to walk a kilometer (between 10-12 minutes). One group even counted 1000 approximately-meter-long steps. In the end, we discovered that a kilometer away from our school is by the Rote Fabrik.
