Question of the night: What did you learn about probability today, especially when playing plinko?
We continued to work on our recorders this morning, and, again, I keep hearing of various belts being awarded. Keep up the good work! After music, there were 3 family presentations. We made some interesting connections between our ancestors, including a couple students that had relatives travel from europe on the same ship. It's great to be able to share our connections, and to understand that we're all connected. Throughout the day today, we played around a little bit with probability by playing a bit of plinko. Well, we played a simulated version of the game. The simulation is here...enjoy! Plinko In the afternoon, we continued to work on our k'nex building projects. We learned that beam bridges are sturdy, but not in all cases, especially if it has to span a large distance. Some groups built a fan, which included gears and a seesaw with a lever and inclined plane. Another group built a well with pulleys. Through these building challenges, we're going to be studying the stability and strength of different shapes. We'll continue tomorrow and into the week after spring break. ____________________________________________________ Walking Wednesday Any students who walk, ride, bike to school on Wednesday will be entered for a prize. ____________________________________________________ Power Hour January 2017 Camel Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DYTPMD Lion Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DSBGDD ____________________________________________________ Reminders:

It's more likely to land in the middle!

The probability is if you rigged it, left or right it would always go left or right. But if you leave it normal it will usually fall near the middle Comments are closed.
