 Our Journey to the Center of the 

Earth...... We 

will see you all again in  ????

 Days...... IMSA 

Fusion students should know!

In IMSA we conducted an experiment to figure out how long it would take each group to walk from the Earth's surface to the center of the Earth.  The students decided to time themselves walking 10 meters.  After each member of the group did that they found the mean for their group.  We then reconvened as an entire group and found the mean of the overall IMSA group.  We then applied that rate to the distance to the center of the Earth!


Finally, we applied the same concepts to a timeline provided from a drilling of a Russian drill hole.  The students found it very interesting that the drill hole took as long as it did.

Next week we will be looking at the History of the Earth and doing a fun team building activity!!! See you there =)
