May
Weights and Measures Day is a special day celebrated on May 20th. It is about understanding how we measure things like length, weight, and time. People all around the world use the same system for measuring these things, called the metric system, to make sure everything is fair and accurate. This system helps scientists, shops, and people from different countries to work together easily because they all understand these measures. It is like using a common language for measurements. This day reminds us how important it is to have the same rules for measuring things everywhere.
How to celebrate Weights and Measures Day?
Start by finding different things at home, like a ruler, a scale, or measuring cups. Use them to measure and weigh items, like your favorite toys or ingredients for a cake. Talk with your family or friends about why measuring is important. You could also make a fun game by guessing the weight or length of things before measuring them. Then, draw pictures of what you measured and write their sizes next to them. At the end of the day, enjoy a special treat, like a cake or cookies, made using correct measurements for the recipe.
