Lego Test

Hi All,
Our Lego team White Wolves needs some help. Nobody has been willing to witness our project so far. We have created a game show called "Who Wants To Save A Planet". We have a warm up competition this weekend and need people to check out our questions so we can show the judges. Will you please check it out? It won't take long. Then please email me on what you thought. I will print them up and place them into our book, we are still looking for a group to help us but until then I figured this would help them. The kids came up with these questions on own and even created some of the webpages. Thanks everybody!

The website is good, but I think the hershies kisses question is off by an order of magnitude or two. I think a kiss uses about 1"by1". 144 sq ft converts to about 21,000 sq in. 20,000,000 kisses more likely would be about 140,000 sq ft ,or a little of 3 acres.

Thanks for that info. The kids found these facts on a home schooled website. I will let them know that it is wrong.

Maybe 144 cubic feet? How thick is foil?

You might want to double check the worlds freshwater lake question. You might want to add by area,but even then i don't think it's superior.

[maltz1881]

It is Lk Superior. We have checked and rechecked. There is a lake I think in Russia that has more volume while Superior has more mass, or it could be the other way around. That lake however is salt.

If we could get some more people to check this out and then email me your opinions good bad or indifferent we sure would love it. We have about 12 right now but would love another dozen or even more if possible. My email addy is on the bottom of the test page.

Thanks

Lake Baikal in Russia is bigger than any other freshwater lake in the world by volume.

Lake Superior is largest in surface area for freshwater and is third in volume.

You WILL get questions on that if you don't specify volume or surface area for what you use for definition of largest. A simple addition of "by surface area" to the question will make Superior the clear answer.

Smog 600: Grammar is pretty bad. I'd make that a teaching moment--it's neither a question nor a statement.

Plastic 200: If it's a state abbreviation, both letters should be capitalized.
