Abstract

Can you imagine having a three-footlong neck? What if triangular plates covered your back? How would you like to have arms so short that you could not feed yourself? In this twopart activity, middle school students are given the chance to use mathematics and science to address these questions with an artistic flair. Using ratios, students design new “humans” with features that are proportional to those of the dinosaurs. They then explore the implications for humans if these new features became real body parts.
