Look at the cartoon below and explain IN DETAIL why this is funny. For physical science students, share an equally funny cartoon analogy (or pun) created by you or someone else (cite the source) that would explain the states of matter. For life science students, come up with another energy/matter conversion that happens over a long period of time similar to fossil fuels.

i get it because the t-rex liquid and that liquid is the gas. the gas for cars. 10/8/2012 05:11:58 am
This picture is about the states of matter. It shows the ice cube, which is a solid, and nothing happens to it when it is cold. But, when the sun comes out it turns the ice cube into a liquid. The sun's heat is melting the ice cube. Then when the sun gets hotter, the water, which is a liquid, evaporates and turns into a gas.

I think this is funny because a dinosaur is here and alive then it melts from a volcano and turns into a liquid and then it turns into fossil fuel

Another idea would be recycling i think is this correct or no i couldnt really think of any other ideas

I like that idea. Run with it! 10/8/2012 10:53:26 am
I find it funny because the dinosaurs start off as solids, like us human beings. Then the lava comes and melts them down. That leads to us modern day people using fossil fuels.

Oh! It's funny because you remind yourself to do the Michael Jackson hand movement as a picture for a solid. As Solids are stiff. Liquids are melted and they spread out, and gas as the gas pump.

That is a very reasonable answer Marco, and I also really like the joke that you put too.

I think its funny because the dinosaurs is like "oh look at me im so bad" or something and then he gets melted so he doesn't look as the badest guy in town.

I think it is funny because it shows when there were dinosaurs, then to when they were put to extinction, then to our modern day times were we have gas for cars. Though the funniest part is he melting dinosaur. This relates to science because it is showing the three forms in a different way but in time. first with the solid which is just a dinosaur. then it shows the dinosaur melting when the disaster happened making it liquid. Then into modern times where it all eventually turned into gas. (using the gas pump metaphorically I assume)

I really like your explanation Nicole, it goes into depth and it helps others understand the picture better

And this picture is funny because as you can see, the dinosaur is a solid, then he gets killed by the lava, which is extinction, and now, that dinosaur is modern day gas, which is a fossil fuel.

I find this funny because the dinosaur is alive, then it is melted by the volcano, and then it turns into gas that we use today.

I think it is funny because the dinosaur starts out as a solid, then the volcano melts it, and it evaporates and turns into gas, made by ourfossil fuel.

I think this is funny because at first the dinosaur is a solid, then as time goes by, the volcano gets hot and the dinosaur starts melting, and finally, the present day fossil fuel.

i think it is funny when he is tring to get help and cant get it with his short arm.

It is funny because the dinosuar is like a human, we all start of as a solid. then the lava will melt him into a liquid. then eventualy he will turn into gas wich then we will use in evry day life.

its funny because the dinosruar mealts like ice cream and when you eat the ice cream it gives you fuel

Although the drawings are cartoonish, this isn't why it's funny. Do you folks think dinosaurs are "evil"? Let's post to the most recent blog. Comments are closed.
