Students explain how to make pictures larger using a grid system by transferring scales images from 1/2 -1 inch to 6 inches - 1 foot. They create life-size scale drawings of ocean life studied in class using a grid system.

Ninth graders create a scaled model city. They create a blueprint that provides for the economic and cultural needs of a community. They identify where essential elements of the city should be located and explain the rationale for the...

Students construct a scaled model of a city that provides for the economic and cultural needs of a community while maintaining high quality air and water to protect the public health. They articulate, in a presentation, the locations of...

For this Kelvin scale worksheet, students read about the relationship between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale. They are given the equations to convert from one scale to the other. They find the equivalents for temperatures...

Students apply concepts of scales to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve real world problems using scales, proportions and ratios. They predict the actual size of a model given the scale drawings.

Eighth graders explore how to read a thermometer. They convert temperature between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Students explain that Celsius is used in the Scientific community and Fahrenheit is used basically only in the United...

Students use ratio and proportions to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students apply ratio and proportions to real life scenarios.

Young scholars watch a Cyberchase video to determine the importance of using the correct scale when making bar graphs. They examine how to use bar graphs to gain information easily. They determine how to use bar graphs persuasively.

Students place events in sequence and assign relative times to each event. They gain an understanding of relative and numerical time and become familiar with the methods used by scientists to develop the Geologic Time Scale.

In this measurement worksheet, students determine which of 3 measurement tools would be used to answer 4 mathematical questions. Students circle their multiple choice answers and then draw or write an explanation for each answer.

Young scholars solve problems using scales and ratios. In this algebra lesson, students create drawings using scales of 1:12. They follow a key to help them draw different buildings using the right scales. They also complete word...

Students analyze the details of a topographic map and create one of their own by utilyzing a map of elevations.

In this scale worksheet, students use the SI system to compare the sizes of some of the smallest and largest organisms on Earth. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this Olympic bar graph worksheet, young scholars pick a sport from the 2004 Olympic games and find data from the Olympic web page. They graph the scores (times, distance, or speed) and the medals. They answer questions about the...

In this faults worksheet, students use an earthquake reference sheet to find the numbers for a modified Mercalli and Richter scale. They compare the San Andreas Fault zone and the New Madrid fault zone on the United States map. They...

In this dwarf planet worksheet, students use images from the Hubble Space Telescope and they determine the scale of the image, they identify the largest features in the images, they calculate the volume of Pluto and they create a model...
