We all voted on reenacting the Powers of 10 documentary. Anna got very excited to watch the reenactment.
“Whatever you say, class!” said Mr. Kintobotnik. He flies the SCAS off Anna's hand until he can see a hand instead of a microscopic landscape of a hand.
Mr. Kintobotnik slowly flies the SCAS towards her hand. We see her skin texture get bigger and bigger. The closer we get, the more visible her skin cells get. As we get close to a skin cell, Mr. Kintobotnik shrinks the SCAS even more.
He tells us that we're the size of an electron now, and we'll know why when he stops the SCAS.
Meanwhile, Anna watches the livestream, adoring the reenactment.
“It's just like the documentary!” she said. “Except there's no narrator telling me what's going on.”
Back on the SCAS, we enter a skin cell. Anna was right about this trip being similar to the documentary. The other difference she didn't get was that in the documentary, it went into a white blood cell; in our field trip, we're going in a skin cell. According to Mr. Kintobotnik, we're heading into the cell's nucleus, where its DNA is stored. Further and further we go, we go into the cell's chromosomes, its DNA, and finally to an oxygen atom in a strand of DNA.
Since we're at our destination...
