Scientifically oriented question – What is the estimated size of an oil molecule?

Evidence – The diameter of the oil molecule 92mm I found the volume 0.524 mm^3 and the area 6647.61 mm^2.

Explanation- The formulas of the volume of a sphere and the area of a circle I figured them out with only knowing the diameter. 

Connection- This is what we are learning in class so it is giving us a real situation to use.

Communication – You can show and explain this to all of your classmates and explain to them how you did the calculations.

Reflection – I learned that when measuring and calculating you have to be very precise and you can't always rush things, you have to take your time.
