Two Thousand Times Heavier in Just Two Weeks How Much Would You Weigh? By Elizabeth Howard Can you find the two larvae in this picture? (Click to enlarge.) In just two weeks, monarchs increase 2000 times in size. We asked, "How much would you weigh if your weight increased 2,000 times?" Students in Tennessee, Arkansas, and New Jersey imagined this happening to them. Based on their calculations, just two weeks from now, these perfectly normal children would weigh as much as: A diesel locomotive; a pure-steel rv truck; the Peacekeeper spaceship by NASA; or a Blue Whale. One student said she would weigh as much as an elephant, a hippo, and a dog put together!   Copyright 2006 Journey North. All Rights Reserved.
