Subject: Re: Volume  problem

Maybe one way to approach this topic is to give an example: Choose two
students from the classroom, a short and a little bit heavy student
and a tall skinny one. You can sort of tell the students to think
about volume sort of representing the volume and both students having
the same weight/volume. Does it mean that both students can fit in the
same spaces? For example taller student may not be able to go through
a door without kneeling down. This way students may realize that not
only the volume but also each dimension also plays a part in making
decisions.
