What Factors Influence Offshore Wind?
What is that out in the water on the horizon? Teams work together to study the coastline using maps to determine the best and worst locations to place an offshore wind farm. The teams then build a scale model wind farm to see what it...
Curated OER
Scale Drawings
Students discuss the importance of scaling drawings. In this math lesson, students create a scaled drawing of circuit boards. They explain why accuracy is very important when scaling.
Curated OER
Mercalli Scale Illustrated
Students study the Mercalli Scale and analyze how it is used to rate earthquakes. They construct a booklet with drawings that represent each rating of the scale. They study why engineers develop rating scales for earthquakes.
Curated OER
Scale Factors for Areas and Volumes
Young scholars examine mathematical questions. They examine how to tackle mathematical questions and discover the effect of a change in length on area and volume. They examine the consequences of the physical properties sea animals on...

Variables and Patterns: Determining an appropriate scale while graphing
Sixth graders determine appropriate scales when graphing data. For this graphing lesson, 6th graders use an the applet "Graph It" to determine what is an appropriate scale for their data.
Curated OER
Using Numbers to Teach The Major Scale
Students study the numbers to the diatonic major scale using C note as a basis in this standards-based 45 minute lesson. Emphasis is placed on singing correct pitch, rhythmic accuracy, and proper breath control.
Curated OER
The Voyage Scale
Students identify how models are powerful tools of exploration and that the sizes of the planets and distances between the planets in the Solar System span a large range. They make a sign for each planet they have created in the lesson...
Curated OER
Balanced Scales Enrichment 13.7
In this standard weights worksheet, students write a weight from the box on each pan of the scales so that the weights on each scale are equal and all the 8 scales are balanced. The equal weights will have ounces and pounds.
Curated OER
The Beaufort Scale: A Local Model
Students study the Beaufort Scale and use it to study wind in their community. In this wind study lesson, students watch a DVD about climate change and learn about the Beaufort Scale. Students complete a worksheet for the topic.
Curated OER
The Canada-US Auto Industry Simulation and Economies of Scale
Students examine the U.S./Canadian trade relationship. In this economics lesson, students participate in a simulation that requires them to use economies of scale to trade laterally.

Reading Scales
In this scale reading activity, learners fill in boxes above marked places on scales to indicate the value of given intervals.
Curated OER
The pH scale
Students list the common properties of acids and bases. They classify substances as acids or bases, by using pH and litmus tests and are able to explain the pH scale. They participate in a lab activity which reinforce their understanding.
Curated OER
Landmark Restoration Project-Scale Model Measurements
Young scholars work in cooperative groups to find the actual measurements of an historical building/landmark. Then they use ratio and proportion to figure the measurements that might be used to create a scale model of the structure.
Curated OER
Make It Balance!- Balance Scales
For this balance scale worksheet, 1st graders examine the position of a triangle on one side of the balance scale. They draw triangles on the other side of the scale in order to make it balance.
Curated OER
Balancing the Scales: Understanding Ratios
Young scholars are introduced to the concept of ratios. In groups, they convert sets of numbers into a ratio. After practicing, they use the ratios and proportions to solve story problems. They also calculate map distances and...
