Corresponding angles and distances in scaled figures
Corresponding angles and distances in scaled figures
Students learn that two figures may have either corresponding side lengths with equivalent ratios OR corresponding angle measures equal, and still NOT be scaled copies. We must see that both charac...
Corresponding angles in scaled figures
Corresponding angles in scaled figures
Students learn to compare two scale drawings of the same object made with different scales. Identify how the lengths, widths, or areas change as the scale changes.
Reciprocal scale factors
Reciprocal scale factors
Explore how scale factors relate in scaled copies. Learn why the scale factor from the copy back to the original is the reciprocal of the scale factor from the original to the copy.
Comparing different scales

Plate tectonics | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
In the 1800s, scientists began noticing that some continents fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. This led to speculations that the continents were once connected, but moved apart. Evid...

Earth as the planet for life | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
Earth is the perfect planet for life as we know it! It orbits the Sun in the habitable zone, where planetary temperatures allow water to exist as a liquid. Scientists believe this is important beca...

The solar system part 2 | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
There are many other objects in orbit around the Sun than the eight major planets. There are comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and dwarf planets such as Pluto and Eris. There’s the asteroid belt betwe...

Tectonic activity | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
A region’s geological activity is often determined by the different plate boundaries below that region. Divergent boundaries occur when plates are moving away from each other. These regions are kno...

The solar system part 1 | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
The Sun is the star at the center of our solar system. There are eight major planets in orbit around the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Each has its own int...

Earth's Layers | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
Earth's Layers | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
Much like a peach, Earth is divided into layers. The thinnest layer is the crust, which composes all the continents and ocean basins. The crust is divided into several massive tectonic plates. Bene...
The tides | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
The tides | Middle school Earth and space science | Khan Academy
Earth’s tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon and Earth. This net force creates a tidal bulge that moves across Earth’s oceans, creating predictable cycles of low and high t...
