Using Animal Burrows to Integrate Math and Biology
Crowe, Mary; Boston, Kellie
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v40 n4 p34-38 Win 2004
In this activity students examine burrow casts to learn about burrowing animals and practice their math skills. Students compute the volume and average circumference of a burrow. They also determine whether a relationship exists between burrow volume and the size of the organism that created it. Students use science as inquiry as they analyze and interpret data generated by themselves and their classmates.
