At our evening CAMI meeting earlier this month, Kevin Winkler from CUNY Start led us in an exploration of the conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit based on something strange he noticed while crossing the Brooklyn Bridge.
I wanted to bring that idea to the afternoon CAMI meeting, and also try to scaffold the exploration a bit, so that we could extend the invitation to our students. It also just happened to be the week where the Midwest was experiencing such cold weather that friends in Minnesota kept making the same joke over and over again about the temperatures there being colder than they were in Antarctica.
