Mass, Measurement, Materials, and Mathematical Modeling: The Nuts and Bolts of Extrapolation
A simple activity is described which is appropriate for any class dealing with measurement. It introduces students to the important scientific process of mathematical modeling and online collaboration. Students, working in groups, determine the mass of a bolt indirectly by extrapolation from massing...
