Relative Ratios
Relative Ratios
Description:
This is an interactive, media-rich lesson in which students examine proportions. By experiment, students will discover that proportions are made up of equal ratios each containing the same building blocks. Using video, students will discover that proportions are direct relationships, and understand how they are used to estimate quantities and find missing numbers. Using the Internet, students will apply their knowledge of direct relationships and proportions to problems in planetary science. Finally, students will demonstrate their ability to use proportions by determining if human bones are a good predictor of height. This lesson utilizes reading, writing, and mathematical skills in an interdisciplinary format.
