Key Stage 2
Meaning
Height is how tall someone is or how far something is above the ground.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
Height is the distance of a point from the ground or the distance from the bottom of an object to the top.
About Height
- Height is usually measured in centimetres and metres.
- Height referring to how tall someone is, is the distance from the ground to the top of their head when they are standing up on the ground.
- As the height of an object increases its gravitational potential energy increases.
