Authentic Assessment on scale

Submitted by Deborah Hazen on Fri, 07/24/2009 - 1:20pm.

I would want a student to apply scale to a problem or situation that requires an understanding of scale and then share their work with others. Three parts--id a situation or problem in which scale is important, apply scale, share.

It could look differently depending on readiness of the student:

Apply scale to distances in the universe, draw something to scale, explore nanotechnology or virus spread...the student gets to choose the topic and the sophistication to match where they are right now.
