Description
Lab-Aids®. This diverse kit provides a series of individualized activities that require students to perform increasingly sophisticated measurements. The primary focus on length over a large scale provides ample opportunities to practice using metric units. Students start by measuring and graphing common objects, move to using tools to find angles, and finish by creating an astrolabe. They determine the radius, diameter, and circumference of Earth; measure the distance to the Sun; and consider the size of the solar system. This reusable kit is complete with instructions and materials for 24 students.
