We promote the teaching of mass functions as an integral part of an interdisciplinary science education. Mass functions characterize the frequency distributions of objects with different masses on all cosmic scales. We intend to enhance experiential learning of this concept with a creative LEGO brick experiment for a diverse student audience. To our surprise, the LEGO mass function is not only qualitatively but also quantitatively comparable to mass functions found across the Universe. We also discuss the relation between gravitation and mass distributions as a possible explanation for the continuity of the universal mass function.

乐高质量函数的教学表示及其起源

我们促进大众功能的教学,将其作为跨学科科学教育的一个组成部分。质量函数表征具有不同质量的物体在所有宇宙尺度上的频率分布。我们打算通过针对不同学生受众的创意乐高积木实验来加强对这一概念的体验式学习。令我们惊讶的是,乐高的质量函数不仅在质量上而且在数量上与整个宇宙中发现的质量函数都具有可比性。我们还讨论了引力和质量分布之间的关系,作为对通用质量函数连续性的可能解释。
