Love this infographic, can you convert the measurements to cm/mm/inches. Can you work out how many Chris Pratts wide each dinosaur is? Using this can you work out how many (insert name of person from your class) tall each dinosaur is.

Video of the Week: How Big is the Universe?
Royal Observatory Greenwich astronomer Liz explains the size of the universe, using animation and analogies to make sense of the incredible distances that we deal with when we talk about the cosmos. This is an informative and fun video, which can be used to look at measuring, distances, conversion of vast numbers and sizes to everyday objects..Or to be honest just to enjoy it :-)
All about Right Angles.
The Right Angle Song.
Here are a couple of videos which look at right, acute and obtuse angles. They are both very simple but a good introduction to angles. Below are some resources for you to use.

How Far Away is the Moon (The Scale of the Universe)
A really interesting video (can also be used in Science) starting with the presenter asking people to put a tennis ball at a distance from a basketball, to show the distance that the moon is from the earth. This could be a good exercise to do with students in your class before showing the distance that the presenter thinks it should be.
As an extension you may want to try and work out exactly how far the tennis ball needs to be from the basketball to show a true reflection. This can be worked out by the diameter of earth is about 12700km and the distance between Earth and Moon is about 384000km (30.16 times the earth diameter), with the scale (basketball balloon about 24cm) the distance is 7,24m.
