Objective 5: Solve problems with large quantities that are not easily measured.
Activities:
 Students with partners devise a mathematical strategy to answer Fermi
Questions and make predictions.
 Research the answer to the question and determine if their prediction is
(dis)proved.
Product: student calculations and predictions.
Materials: Fermi Project Rubric
Follow Up/HW: work on project due Friday.
Objective 5: Solve problems with large quantities that are not easily measured.
Objective 2:: Communicate with orally and in writing making accurate and clear
presentations of solutions to problems
Activities:
