“drop away.” Listener can open eyes when tester
says pennies have been collected and mark their

• Problem: Can you determine an old penny
from a new penny by the sound it makes
when dropped?
–Score your own sheet
• (10 pts for correct response)
–Gather the entire classes scores to obtain
average / mean.
• Add all of the scores and divide by the number of
students.
– What was the average grade / mean (%)
• Do our results answer the problem?
• Continuation (Optional) Finding standard
deviation and variance.
– Standard variation is the square root on the
variance.
– Variance: The average of the squared
differences from the mean.
• Statistical Methods
– The mean / average was…
– Everyone calculate how far away their data was
from the mean / average.
• Ex.) The mean was 80 and I got 60 so I was 20 from
the mean.
– To calculate the variance, take each difference,
square it, and then average the result as a class.
• Ex) 22 + 4.52 + 1.52 + 3.52 + (rest of class)
Divide by total # of students = variance
• The Standard Deviation is just the square
root of the Variance.
– So square the variance that we found.
Example…
6523 = 80.76%
We now have a standard to show which scores
are high and low and to help answer our problem.

– Available Sheet
• Activity! (Optional) Making Goop
• Directions in video and on next slide.
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-

• Materials
– Glue bottle (4oz)
– 2 mixing bowls
– Water
– Mixing spoon
– Measuring Cups
– Borax
– Measuring spoon
– Sealable Bag
• Procedure:
– 1.) Squeeze glue into bowl.
– 2.) Fill glue bottle with water, cap, mix, and pour into the
glue in bowl.
– 3.) Stir and add desired food coloring.
– 4.) Set that bowl aside.
– 5.) In new bowl mix 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of
borax and stir.
– 6.) Add 1/3 a cup of borax and water mixture into a bowl
and stir.
– 7.) Slowly add the contents from the glue bowl into the
borax bowl while you stir.
– 8.) Pick up goop and work it with your hands. Put in
plastic bag and clean up area.
– 9.)Once area is clean you can play with goop.
• Goop is a polymer you can make from white
glue and borax.
– Borax is a cleaning agent and natural mineral
composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water.
– The Elmer’s glue is a long-chained polymer (Poly
Vinyl Acetate), meaning it is a set of molecules
that are linked together in a long chain.
– When added together, the borate ions bond with
water molecules. These long polymers link
together to form a matrix that is not very strong.
– This why goop is stretchable and considered a
Non-Newtonian Fluid. High Viscosity.

  • 243. • Statistical Methods – The mean / average was… – Everyone calculate how far away their data was from the mean / average. • Ex.) The mean was 80 and I got 60 so I was 20 from the mean. – To calculate the variance, take each difference, square it, and then average the result as a class. • Ex) 22 + 4.52 + 1.52 + 3.52 + (rest of class) Divide by total # of students = variance
  • 244. • The Standard Deviation is just the square root of the Variance. – So square the variance that we found. Example… 6523 = 80.76% We now have a standard to show which scores are high and low and to help answer our problem.

  • 264. • Materials – Glue bottle (4oz) – 2 mixing bowls – Water – Mixing spoon – Measuring Cups – Borax – Measuring spoon – Sealable Bag
  • 265. • Procedure: – 1.) Squeeze glue into bowl. – 2.) Fill glue bottle with water, cap, mix, and pour into the glue in bowl. – 3.) Stir and add desired food coloring. – 4.) Set that bowl aside. – 5.) In new bowl mix 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of borax and stir. – 6.) Add 1/3 a cup of borax and water mixture into a bowl and stir. – 7.) Slowly add the contents from the glue bowl into the borax bowl while you stir. – 8.) Pick up goop and work it with your hands. Put in plastic bag and clean up area. – 9.)Once area is clean you can play with goop.
  • 266. • Goop is a polymer you can make from white glue and borax. – Borax is a cleaning agent and natural mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water. – The Elmer’s glue is a long-chained polymer (Poly Vinyl Acetate), meaning it is a set of molecules that are linked together in a long chain. – When added together, the borate ions bond with water molecules. These long polymers link together to form a matrix that is not very strong. – This why goop is stretchable and considered a Non-Newtonian Fluid. High Viscosity.
