Measurement Word Search
This measurement puzzle holds 40 words for measuring anything: length, weight, capacity and temperature, the inch, pound and gallon, the centimeter and kilogram, and the tape measure that pulls out of its case.
Old units came from the body and the farm. The Egyptian cubit was the length of a forearm from elbow to fingertip, a fathom of rope was the stretch of a sailor's outspread arms, about six feet, and an acre was roughly the land a team of oxen could plow in a day. Because arms and oxen differ, every town could end up with its own version.
The metric system was built in France in the 1790s to replace all that. The meter was set at one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator, and for 130 years the kilogram was a metal cylinder kept near Paris, until scientists redefined it in 2019 using a constant of physics. Mixing the two systems is costly: NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999 because one team worked in pounds and another in metric units.
