This work-in-progress poster reports on the development process of a virtual environment to support embodied cognition about the scale of scientific entities from subatomic particles to galaxies.

In order to determine specific entities to use in the virtual environment, a document analysis of US K-undergraduate science education standards was undertaken. Entities, categories of entities, and ranges of sizes were identified.
