This practical project shows how to use multiplication and variables to measure distances. How it works. This program calculates distances by multiplying step length by the number of steps you take. It uses an average child's step length of 0.6 metres. Carefully walk the distance you want to measure, pressing button A each time you take a step.
167 interactive simulations. 121 language translations. 3433 teacher-submitted lessons. Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations.
Distance Calculator now supports locations worldwide! Distance calculations are based on the great circle distance between points, and do not account for differences in elevation.
Fun science activity in which you use strings to make a scale model of the relative distances between the planets in the solar system
To start, here are my favorite digital tools for measuring length and distance! Measurement Videos. First, including a short introductory video is a great idea! The measurement concept is so massive that it is always good to start broad. Then, hone in on each specific domain and skill.
Click on the "Calculate" button. Notice that the distances and sizes of the planets will automatically fill in. I've also provided some other interesting scale comparisons at the bottom of the chart. You can now build your scale model.
With the distance calculator distance.to you can easily determine distances between world-wide locations. Simply enter any desired location into the search function and you will get the shortest distance (air line) between the points, the route (route planner) as well as all important information.
