Reflection Questions:
- How many heart beats did you think you would have in one year before extrapolating? I think it would be 3,368,904. I think this because it turns out to be a lot when you think about it. Were you close or far off? I was way off I had a better guess with the heart beats in one week. I think I was off because I didn't really know how high the numbers turn out to be.
- Explain what "extrapolating" means to younger children. I think it means to find something you want to know that you don't know. It was really fun to extrapolating my heart.
- What are some other things you can extrapolate? Give some examples. You can extrapolate what you stomach looks like, also what layers of bones do you have. If you think about it you can extrapolate a lot of stuff.
