Dan Shafer, a geography teacher had his students use maps in class for lots of the year. However, rather than just using the maps, he also helped teach his students to understand the scale of them.

In class, he talked about their state map and then they talked about it's scale. After that, they talked about the room and then he had the students make a map of the room to scale. Next, theyplanned on doing this same activity outside for the school grounds.

Dan Shafer acted silly to keep his students involved. He swung a pair of athletic socks tied to a string around his head and then let them go. Once he let go of them, they flew in a straight line across the room until they hit the wall. The kids were very intrigued as they observed. Afterwards, they talked about how when you turn in a car, peoples bodies get thrown toward the car door. They realized there bodies go toward their door because there bodies are trying to continue straight. When their discussion was over, they all realized they were learning about inertia this whole time.
