Description
The Olmicomics is a laboratory designed for the last year of lower secondary school. The students are challenged in representing the linear distances within of the Solar System, using a purely numeric one and some simple material as a long string and some pegs. At the end of the laboratory, we provide also a visual for comparison. The mixing of abstract and concrete reasoning results in a series of interesting methods to solve the posed questions. This activity allows them to take a step forward in their awareness of complex concepts as approximation, error, precision and simplicity.
