Introduction

All parts of our universe are understood and studied at multiple scales - large, macroscopic, microscopic, and atomic-molecular. This task is designed to give you a chance to see different objects at varying scales.

Directions

1. Pick from any of the resources to view different parts of our universe at the various scales. (Please notify me if a link does not work).

Scale of Universe: http://htwins.net/scale2/

Cell Size and Scale: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cells/scale/

The Universe Within: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/

2. Under your Powers of Ten table (taped in), write a short reflection in your notebook that explains 3 ideas that truly surprised you about the relative size of objects. For example, a virus is much smaller than a bacterium. Perhaps it surprises you because both can cause infection and death if left untreated.
