There is a powerpoint presentation, however I can not figure out how to get it to upload.
My group, like alot of the others added the hisoty of the penny. This made it seem as though you, and kind of did, hear the same presentation over and over again.
The following questions were presented to the class and this is what my group had came up with:
1) What would a penny weigh picked up from the sidewalk? A penny minted today would weigh 2.50g fresh from the mint. So you would have to adjust that value since it has been exposed to the world.
2) What would a 1908 penny weigh? A penny fresh from the mint in 1908 weighed 3.11g, however you would have to adjust that value since it has been exposed to the world for some time.
3) What would a 1793 penny weigh? A penny fresh from the mint in 1793 weighed 13.48g, however you would have to adjust that value since it has been exposed to the world the longest out of the three pennies that are being examined.
One thing that has been expressed of how we can make our presentations better in the future would be to add in more scientific data.
