Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...

Seventh graders investigate a ratio found in nature and in numerous pieces of artwork throughout history. The lesson is cross-curricular and builds a sense of appreciation of design for students.

Students go outside and take a little barefoot walking trip. They talk to each other about their experiences on the trip to help them remember everything they can. They go on a walk for at least 15 minutes. Ask questions during the trip.
