==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''surface area to volume ratio''' is the relationship between the [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of an [[object]] and the [[Surface Area|surface area]] of that [[object]] which can be used to [[explain]] how the [[property|properties]] of a [[material]] or [[object]] can change due to the size of the [[object]].
===About Surface Area to Volume Ratio===
: As the size of an [[object]] decreases the [[Surface Area|surface area]] becomes larger compared to the [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of the [[object]].
: The '''surface area to volume ratio''' explains why a [[mouse]] will freeze quicker in cold [[temperature]]s than a [[bear]] and why [[multicellular]] [[organism]]s need specialised [[tissue]]s with large [[Surface Area|surface areas]] to [[absorb (biology)|absorb]] [[nutrient]]s and [[Oxygen]].
