In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad is trapped on Proporciona, a place where objects are 10 times larger than the kids. The CyberSquad needs to build a boat just like one that belongs to the giants, but ten times smaller. They find some model boat kits that belong to the giants and try to figure out which pieces are the right proportion and can be used together.
