Note: These Challenge Questions coincide with the Spring 2006 Reports Challenge Question #11 From: by way of Journey North <nunnallyr@sau25.net> Date: Fri Apr 14 2006 - 11:48:48 EDT X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.2.3.4 Mrs. Nunnally's second grade class at Peter Woodbury School in Bedford, NH figured out that if they weighed 50 pounds and their weight increased 2,000 times, they would weigh 100,000 pounds. A small tugboat weighs about 100,000 pounds. If a student weighed 70 pounds, then they would weigh 140,000 pounds. An adult male African elephant weighs about 15,000 pounds. So the 70 pound kid would now weigh about the same as 10 elephants! Received on Fri Apr 14 11:49:11 2006 Copyright 2004 Journey North. All Rights Reserved.
