  • Next message: by way of Mary Hosier/Journey North: "Challenge Question #20"

    Challenge Question #21:
    If you wore a backpack that weighed 2% of your body weight, how heavy would
    your backpack be?

        Three third graders weigh between 50 and 90 pounds. This would make the
    backpack between 1 and 1.8 pounds.
        Ashley figured that would be the same as having her Bratz doll strapped
    on her back. That wouldn't slow her up at all.
        Charlie could have 3 Playstation game cartridges on his back. He thinks
    he would get used to that.
        Kristian could have the Chewbacca Star wars Action figure on his back.
    He knows that wouldn't slow him up at all.

        We think that the eagles get used to the weight and don't notice it at
    all.
