Week 2
DIRECTION
Examples
North (N), South (S), East (E) , West (W), NW, SW, NE, SE google maps, compass, maps etc
How do we use it?
To use direction, you need to know simple coordinates such as North , East , South , West & the difference between your left and your right to read and understand directions.
What is it?
Direction is the path that someone / something takes to get to a specific place/destination
SCALE
Examples
You can scale your/others weight. Length/width/height (L+W+H) Or simple just scaling a human reflex/ timing.
How do we use scale
We use scale as a way of measuring. To use scale you need to first know what you're scaling as how you're going to scale your chosen/designated object to be scaled.
Why do we need scale
We need scale as it helps us understand what is happening on Earth and how us human effect the Earth around us.
