📐 Scale & Measurement Mini-Lab

Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving CCSS.Math.Content.8.G.C.9 CCSS.Math.Content.8.G.C.9 Submission Required

Students practice translating calculated dimensions into scaled drawings and physical measurements using rulers, compasses, and grid paper. They verify radius, height, and slant height for cones, cylinders, and spheres, then check how scale factors affect both volume and surface area. This ensures prototypes match mathematical plans before building.
