Blog Post 2: Penny weight presentation

Post on your blog your group presentation related to the questions on masses posed in class:

What would a penny weigh picked up from the sidewalk?

What would a 1908 penny weigh?

What would a 1793 penny weigh?

Also, post a reflection on your presentation, the other presentations, and thoughts on how these could be even better.


As mentioned in class, the presentations were all lacking in scientific content and data. I think most groups (including ours) were somewhat daunted by the task of creating 7 minutes of content on pennies. We resorted to utilizing filler that had essentially nothing to do with the true question we were to address.
