"Introduction: There was a video in which a volcano goes off. In the scale, it moves 1 cm per hour. There is a map with the same volcano and same scale with a lot of cities." - A.K.
This is a Dan Meyer 3-Act Play: http://www.101qs.com/3542
Assumptions:
- The lava moves at the same rate.
- We'll measure the city at its center.
Some questions we have chosen to investigate:
- What is the order that the lava will reach the cities?
- Is the lava increasing at a constant area or distance from the center of the volcano?
- How long will it take to reach the first city?
- How much area will be covered by the lava after _____ seconds or minutes?
This is part 1 of 2 and will require another lab day to complete our investigations.
