Who does not know that a horse falling from a height of three or four cubits will break his bones, while a dog falling from the same height or a cat from a height of eight or ten cubits will suffer no injury? ...Galileo-Two New Sciences

Q. Why do large dogs seem to pant more than small dogs?

Reasoning from Manipulatives: Mathematical Concepts Related to
LARGE and small dogs.
Mathematical Concepts Related to HEAT EXCHANGE.
How Can These Concepts be Compared Mathematically?
![Page 28: There Might be giants ? Math 100 Scaling Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816247550346895dd284d2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A demonstration about cooling:
Equal volumes of 100C water are placed in containers having different areas of exposure:
After several minutes measure the respective water temperatures with thermometers, significant differences in temperatures are seen.

A second cognitive disequilibrium of lesson: If more surface area
produces better cooling, then why do large dogs appear hotter,…, they have more surface area than a small dog!

Reasoning from Manipulatives continued:
VSA
How can we compare surface area and volume AT THE SAME TIME?

As for the 200foot woman: A 5 foot woman made six times larger
twice would reach 180 feet. (1/6)^2 is 1/36 She would have 1/36 less skin as
compared with the 5 foot woman. No wonder she is in such a small
swimsuit … she is burning up!
