The Case of no Surface Area Education
Storyboard Text
- Today we have a case on this principal not requiring the education of surface area in his school. This is education required by the district, and kids need to learn this!
- I'm sorry m'am, but there are more important things to worry about! Kids don't need to know that there is more surface area when food is chewed. They know enough about the small intestine and don't need to know about villi and microvilli.
- Well, all of the kids are learning about the digestive system. And in the digestive system, there is a lot of nutrient absorption. Kids need to know that this mainly happens in the small intestine, and about all the villi and microvilli. Everything that needs to be learned, needs to be learned.
- I did know that, but your students don't, but they should!
- Did you know that if you laid out all the surface area of the small intestine, t would be almost as big as a football field?
- Okay, you will not be charged. Case dismissed!
- They also need to know the formula to find surface area is adding up all the sides, and that surface area isn't just in the small intestine.
- Yes! And they also don't know about the duodenum and how it does the most nutrient absorption. And now that I think about it, they don't know that the small intestine is 7 meters long! Ok Miss, I promise I will teach them all about these topics!
