<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 9418, member: 57463&quot;]I have worked as a substitute teacher in middle schools.&nbsp; There is no limit to what a creative teacher can come up with for &quot;coins.&quot;&nbsp; For instance, one science experiment done often at the beginning of the year to weigh a group of common objects in order to estabish their distribution, mean, mode, and median weights. Any coin works well, but the nice thing about NICKELS is that their weight has not changed in over 100 years: 5.000 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Myself, teaching one group of gifteds studying Egyptian archaeology, I passed out two foreign coins to each kid.&nbsp; These are artifacts, I told them.&nbsp; You might not be able to read the language, or even identify the alphabet.&nbsp; They look something like the coins you know, but you cannot be sure of that without some study.&nbsp; What can you determine from them?</p><p><br /></p><p>For a music class, I showed them how to &quot;ring&quot; a silver dollar and suggested that their parents probably have these and other kinds of old coins around the house.&nbsp; What kind of instrument could you make with them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Michael</p><p>ANA R-162953[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
