Science Buddies: Puppy Proportions: Growth Spurts & Weight Gain in a Dog
Puppies prove to be a fun and useful aid in this adorable experiment! By having access to, and measuring a puppy's body dimensions over a period of weeks or months, you can discover if segments of canine anatomy develop at different...
Mathigon
Mathigon: Geometry: Circle and Pi: Degrees and Radians
Rather than dividing a circle into some number of segments (like 360 degrees), mathematicians often prefer to measure angles using the circumference of a unit circle - a circle with radius 1. This way of measuring angles is called...
