Honey I Blew Up The...object

The goal of this project is to offer students an opportunity to experience the facets of the math concept of scale. Students demonstrate that scale is more than a set of mathematical calculations of real life objects. Students are also required to put their mathematical calculations to work. They use a variety of materials to accurately recreate the object of their choice in full three dimensional detail to scale. To further unleash student creativity, a video story that explains the purpose of the enlarged objects were created.
