“This is the actual size of a North Atlantic Right Whale. Our whole 8th grade class fits inside!”

It can be hard to grasp the actual size of a North Atlantic right whale…

As part of the 8th grade math classes, our 8th grade students created scaled drawings of the actual sizes of the whales that I hope to see on my trip. They started from small drawings to get the correct shape of each whale and them blew them up to their actual size. These were then drawn outside of our school for all to enjoy. We wanted the whole school to appreciate the size of the various whales that live in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. You don’t realize how big they are until you do something like this. This is the actual size of a North Atlantic Right Whale. Our whole 8th grade class fits inside!" - Ellen O'Donnell
