Developing and Using Models and Putting them to Scale
Objective:
Hypothetically, lets say we needed to run an experiment that required 2000 feet, and I need to know if the hallway is long enough to run it. But the problem is, I only have 1 meter stick and a satellite image. How do we go about doing it?
Cross Cutting Concepts:
- Scale & Proportion
Science & Engineering Practice:
- Making and Using Models
Day 1: Starting the Project
Task 1:
- Create a model of the school by tracing the satellite image onto tracing paper.
- Color it if you can, but it's not necessary.
- Next, cut and paste it into your notebook where there are clearly two clear pages next to each other.
