Investigations: Flea-Sized Surgeons

Isn't this a great idea? Why can't we shrink or expand things to fit our needs? In this unit students explore scale, surface area, volume, and weight. They build mathematical models to help them question how scale changes affect animal and human physical properties such as "lightness" on feet, heat transfer, respiration, strength and stability of form.
