- Abstract:
This module addresses how to determine the size of a ton of rock of a given composition and invites the student to figure out how to solve the problem. Students recreate spreadsheets, shown in a Powerpoint module, on their own with formulas that answer various pieces of the overall question. This module is the third in a series of six that examine the density of planets and rocks, and was designed for an undergraduate class where students look at geological questions mathematically and may spend more time on the math than on the geology. The site includes teaching notes and tips, and links to teaching materials and additional resources.
