"Just at this moment Alice felt a very curious sensation… she was beginning to grow larger"
Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Can you imagine her getting bigger?
Imagine she was enlarged to twice her normal height (and width and depth).
Make an estimate of how much she would weigh (in kilograms) after growing, if her original weight was 35kg.
What if she was enlarged to three times her normal size?

Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops? This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments: Transum.org/go/?Start=June1 However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below. |

Here is the URL which will take them to a related student activity.
