Angus, the Inventor

Angus (age 7) went to One Day School (ODS) this week and he was learning about Toilets Through the Ages. So he used clay to make a model of his idea for a Toilet of the Future. Angus is keen to tell you how it works.

Our Inquiry Display

Room 3 visited Science Alive as Forensic Investigators to help them to answer their wondering question: Imagine what could happen! We experimented with evidence and we solved a crime using chemistry. WOW, it was exciting!

This display shows our wondering question and other questions we are asking and researching to find out about kitchen chemistry. Sophie, Molly, Lucy and Anna helped us to decorate our wondering question.

What we did in the holidays!

We have just finished two weeks of school holiday. The students have done lots of interesting things. Take a look at our wall to see what we did!

Results of studying and graphing the numbers and colours of M&Ms in a 49g packet

Back in March we did a post showing how we were learning about graphing by comparing the numbers and colours of M&Ms in a 49g packet of M&Ms.

Learning how to make graphs on the computer (10 March)

Here are our results in a spreadsheet:



Here are the graphs we made:

Here are the total results in a graph:

• The most common colour in a packet of M&Ms was Blue, by far!
• The least common colour in a packet of M&Ms was Red.
• The colour the students liked best was Blue, and that was the most common colour in most of the packets.
• There are different numbers of M&Ms in each box.
• There are different numbers of colours in each box.
  
• You can see from our graph that some people got 5 more Pebbles than others! That seems like a lot!
  

Why do you think there is such a difference in the numbers of M&Ms between the different boxes?

Please post a Comment below, with your ideas about why this might be.
