Interactive introduction to scale

The Scale of the Universe 2

This could be a very useful classroom tool for an introduction to a wide range of science subjects. I’d say it’s probably elementary school level, and would likely be too trivial to use in a high school setting. But it provides a lot of springboards to other topics, so if you have a few different classroom sessions planned around introducing biology, astronomy, and/or physics, this could be a great framing device.

(I’m adding it to the “education” section on the sidebar. Appropriate copyrights and such are on the page; I did not make that animation.)
