PHeT Estimation (1.26)Through this estimation I wrote down some of my results in the final 5 minutes with the program. They are as follows:
Circle-circle: right
Cube-cube: wrong by 400
Sphere-sphere: wrong by 6000
Line-line: right
Square-square: wrong by 30
Circle-circle: right
Square-square: wrong by 2050
Circle-circle: wrong by 1
Circle-circle: wrong by 7
Circle-circle: right
Square-square: right
Line-line: right
Sphere-sphere: wrong by 4000
Circle-circle: wrong by 1000
-Through this experiment I realized that I was better at estimating the area of objects rather than their volume. The area that I scored the highest on was when I was given lines. The area that I scored poorly on was when I was given spheres. I also realized that when given the same shape one after another I tended to better because I became accustomed to the ways that object functioned.

Good.
Every increase in the number of dimensions makes it inherently harder to do a good estimate.
