Thumb Wars!

Thumb wars were happening in Room 202 today.  These thumb wars happened after identifying variables and writing a hypothesis based on the investigative question: How does the size of the wrist affect the ability to win a thumb war?

Wrist sizes were taken, thumb circumference and thumb length were also.  Boys competed against boys, girls against girls.  Data was taken and winners were determined!  Tomorrow we will graph the data and discuss some experimental errors that took place as well.  

Tonight is Back to School Night 6:30-8:00pm.  Hope to see you all here.  

Note:  There will NOT be a quiz tomorrow.  It will probably be on Monday.  

Using the Scientific Method

Today in class, we did an activity that helped refresh the student's memory about the scientific method.  We began on the "Thumb Wrestling Activity" listed below.  We will have to finish it up tomorrow in class.  As the week progresses, it appears that the quiz that is scheduled for Friday will be moved to Monday! Yeah!
