Blind Stork Exam For Information Collection

While looking through blind stork test." The visit is simple. Close your eyes in addition to meet how long y'all tin stand upward on 1 leg. Don Steward claims that nigh people can't end to a greater extent than than 1 minute.

As amongst my Estimating thirty Seconds Activity, I originally planned to run an online stopwatch on the SMARTBoard for this activity. When I tried this outset hour, I had 2 buys who only wouldn't laissez passer on up. They both stood on 1 human foot amongst their eyes unopen for over 5 minutes. Five minutes. We couldn't write downwards our information or motility on until both of them gave up!

For my afternoon classes, I had my students cast pairs for this activity. We pulled out our MyChron timers (affiliate link) to help us collect our data. One pupil would fourth dimension the other student, in addition to then they would merchandise places. This resulted inward a much to a greater extent than timely information collection period!

Another switch I made was to require students to stand upward amongst their arms folded against their chest. I did this amongst the hopes that it would top inward trickier in addition to they would locomote able to stand upward on 1 human foot for a shorter amount of time.

I created a information canvass for my students to gum inward their interactive notebooks. They recorded their information value in addition to the information values of their classmates. Next year, I'll modify "Your Time" to "My Time."

I also desire to revise this to laissez passer on students a house to write their information values inward order. I had to mash it inward here, in addition to it exactly doesn't await equally slap-up in addition to squeamish equally I'd hoped.

After writing downwards the information for the class, I had my students honour the 5 position out summary. We in addition to then used the 5 position out summary to solve for the IQR in addition to banking concern tally for outliers.

In the future, I would definitely designate a certainly house on the notes for students to explicate the presence/absence of outliers.

On the within of our notes, I had students practise a box-and-whisker plot, point plot, stem-and-leaf plot, in addition to histogram.

I definitely involve to laissez passer on my students a pre-made (but non pre-numbered) position out trouble for their box-and-whisker plot in addition to point plot adjacent year. That should salvage lots of time!

I desire to position graph newspaper inward the background for the stem-and-leaf plot to help students align their information to a greater extent than evenly.

I also believe that graph newspaper would locomote super-useful for making histograms inward the future, too.

Here are a few to a greater extent than photos of my students inward activeness during the blind stork test.

I've uploaded the file I created for this activity here.
