Target Student Performance
Students organize images to “zoom in” and “zoom out” of six different systems at four different scales: atomic-molecular, microscopic, macroscopic, and large scales.
Students practice sorting pictures of items by their size on the macroscopic and atomic-molecular scales.
Accommodation: If you have a number of students with special needs in your class, it’s recommended to do this optional activity.
