How do you see it? A Lesson on Scale & Proportion
by Crystal Williamson
This lesson is primarily based off of Paul Anderson’s, “The Wonder of Science” website.
The lessons can either be prepared with actual objects with you the teacher instructing or showing the video, and then following up with discussion and hands on discovery thought the use of micro toys, Switch Its or other manipualtives. Mr. Anderson’s videos are accompanied by Google Slides and Think Sheets where students can record their work. There is also a link for the NetLogo Home Page for scaling simulations.
