I Like That!: How perception, emotion, and cognition shape our preferences

Grades

6, 7, 8

I Like That! unit banner

Students will conduct experiments and analyze real scientific data as they learn about themselves. They'll learn how our eyes and brains interact to determine what we like and dislike, and apply this knowledge to fish research and the art of character design.

Lesson 3

In Part 3, students will create ratios from character sheets to calculate proportions of different character's body proportions (e.g. arm-length / torso-length) and round to the nearest hundredth.
