So how did we do it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We went straight to the forest, chose a tree and we measured the height of the tree by only using a pencil and a tape measure. Subsequently, we calculated the age of the tree by using a mathematical operation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the diagrams and photographs below and on the following page, you can see how we worked this out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/zerconca\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1589\/2019\/06\/tree_height_age.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1725\" src=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/zerconca\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1589\/2019\/06\/tree_height_age.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/zerconca\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1589\/2019\/06\/tree_height_age.png 788w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/zerconca\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1589\/2019\/06\/tree_height_age-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/zerconca\/wp-content\/uploads\/usu1589\/2019\/06\/tree_height_age-768x659.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"heigh\/age\/tree\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/144672975@N06\/albums\/72157709071985978\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48058429837_00c238e5de_z.jpg\" alt=\"heigh\/age\/tree\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em><strong> *** Now you have the instructions and have seen how to do it, don&#8217;t you feel like\u00a0 doing the activity too!!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we stand in a forest and look upwards, admiring the trees soaring above our heads, a common question often pops up.
