Thinking Outside The Non-Existent Box
Junior High School | Learning
| March 13, 2017
(We are in math class, learning about volume. The teacher is currently talking about the volume of boxes.)
Teacher: “Would the volume of this box change if you submerged it underwater?”
Class: “No.”
Teacher: “And [Student #1]! Would the volume of the box change if it caught on fire?”
Student #1: “No.”
Me: “Actually, it would. The box would burn and it wouldn’t hold anything anymore.”
Teacher: “What if the box was fireproof, [My Name]?”
Me: “Then it wouldn’t catch on fire in the first place.”
Teacher: “…touché.”
