Paleontology, Feb 8th (7th period)
The dinosaur-shaped cookies are back. This time with milk for all your dunking needs.
"Last class we talked about general site considerations. Today, we're going to pack for our expedition. Well, sort of.
Obviously, the carrying capacity of the trucks is the most important factor in deciding how much we are able to bring.
It is a lot of work to figure out exactly what to bring and where to pack it in the trucks. And, we can't forget to set aside room for the team members!
Also, we must take into account these six packing rules:
You cannot pack more than the carrying capacity of the truck (or the truck will get stuck in desert sand).
You cannot overload the roof rack (or it will collapse and cause an accident).
You cannot put people on the roof rack (they could fall off).
You cannot put gas cans inside the truck (the smell of gas is not safe or pleasant for passengers).
You must pack the truck emergency kit near the rear door (in an emergency, the tire-jack and flashlight must be accessible).
You must bring enough food for each person each day in the field.
For homework please complete this worksheet- and don't worry, our expedition won't be nearly as long. We'll only be gone for a weekend."

Homework!
Re: Homework!
2. 870 lbs
3. 3480 lbs
4. 4270 lbs w/jackhammer
NO - 4200 lbs is the max (truck w/4k lbs capacity, rack w/200 lbs capacity)
5. *hands in a halfway decent sketch with everyone in the truck wearing smart doctor glasses*
6. 1570 lbs of equipment/food needed to get home.
therefore, 2630 lbs of fossils able to be carried in 1 truck
