1. Read each night for at least twenty minutes.
2. Create a game that others can play based on probability. This may include cards, dice, balls, rubber duckies, or anything else you can dream up. Think of the sorts of games you might see at a carnival or at the State Fair. When you come in be ready to talk to us about the probability of winning. You might want to play a number of times at home and create a graph of some sort demonstrating the probability of winning. The photo at the top of this post is of David's game. It includes dropping colored sticks into the appropriate tubes. He is currently collecting data to see how often people win (getting all four in the right tube). This is due next Monday.
3. Create an insulator no larger than a shoe box. Next Monday I will give each person five ice cubes. to put in their insulator. The goal is to construct a cooler-type box that will keep the ice solid throughout the entire school day. Feel free to use any materials you would like. Just be sure have a door of some type so we can put the ice in and check it throughout the day. Also, make sure your construction is original. As discussed in class, don't buy a small cooler and color flowers or skateboards on it and call it your own. Be creative and have fun! This is also due next Monday.

| We are comparing a tin box to our "insulator" (a tin box with a sheet of paper on it). No this is NOT a good example of what you might create at home. This one did not work too well. Be much more creative than this! |
