Image: Liz hands Amy and Martin a level.

Liz says, “Maybe this tool would be useful.”

Martin says, “THAT'S a tool?”

Amy says, “But it's filled with bubble juice!”

Image: Liz positions the level on the treehouse step nailed to the tree. Click is standing below with a smaller level on his head.

Liz says, “It's called a level. When the bubble is between these two lines, you can be sure the board is perfectly straight.”

Martin says, “COOL!”

Click says, “I'm so level-headed!”

Image: Martin climbs the treehouse steps. Liz and Amy are measuring a piece of plywood, while Click looks on.

Martin says, “Great! The ladder's all done. Now we can work on the floor. I wonder if that big flat piece of wood will fit up here?”

Amy says, “We can find out with this tape measure.”

Click says, “Measure twice, cut once!”
