Social experiment

Task

Clarify and predict the title of the video we will watch today: Social Experiment

Watch this video

Social means people interacting with other people and having a good time. Experiment means testing a theory and finding information to back up that theory. I guess that this video could be about someone going around and doing a survey and then making those results into a graph.

Write up this video using the Science Process.

Aim

To find out how people react to anonymous comments. √

Hypothesis

I think that people will react nicely to nice comments but badly to bad comments. √

Equipment & Method

A speaker

A person who speaks

Some random people
( passers-by) √

1. Place the speaker on the side walk.
2. When someone walks past the speaker say either a compliment or an insult.
3. Do this for about half an hour and see how people react. √

Results (make these up)

Most of the people who received bad comments reacted really badly and it looked like they were really angry but with the nice comments it looked like that had brightened up their day. √

Conclusion

It doesn't matter if you can see the person or not they still react the same. √

Mount Everest

Imagine this is you.Describe this scene. Describe

- what you smell

- what you hear

- what you  see

- how you feel

I feel cold and tired, I guess these are the downsides of climbing Mount Everest. I am now looking at the summit of this amazing mountain. It has been challenging but I love it and that is why I am doing this. All I can smell is cold air, all I can see  is the peak of this amazing mountain and I can hear some other people coming up behind me, They must of gotten an early start compared to me.  Its seven o’clock and I am hungry so I look through my bag and I find some porridge, So I cook that and that gives me an amazing boost so now I am ready for a days climbing.

now stop, let's take it to the middle.

Gotta find the median no time to daddle diddle.

line up all the numbers from the smallest to the big, and the one thats in the middle does the median shake.

Go median, middle number, Go median, middle number.

Now the third one's being not nice but mean, it's the average number if you know what I mean.

Just add up all the numbers and divide it by the number of adders, what's that, what's mean.

Just add up all the numbers and divide it by the number of adders, yeah you know what I mean

Just add up all the numbers and divide it by the number of adders, its the average number.

Mean its the average number, one more round and this song is done, let's talk about the range and have some fun.

Science behind a glowstick

What I think now (before we start)

I predict that when you snap a glow-stick there is one glass tube in the glow-stick that holds a different chemical and when those two chemicals mix they react and that is what makes the glow.

What I think now (after hearing others’ ideas)

I think that there is a glass tube and when that breaks the two chemicals mix to cause a reaction, a big clue is that you can probably hear the glass crack.

What I think now (after seeing Miss C cut open the tube)

My prediction was correct in that there was a glass tube and two chemicals that mix and react

What I think now (after researching)

It is a dye that colours the light stick. The two chemicals used in a glowstick are hydrogen peroxide and phenyl oxalate ester.

3 questions I still have

What is the future for glowsticks?

What is name of the reaction between the two chemicals called.

Can you make a glue stick at home?

Synthesis is when you have an idea and you then find out more?

Sampling

Yesterday in Maths we learned about sampling. Write about sampling. You should include

- what is a sample?

- why take a sample?

- what are some examples of sampling done in real life?

- what does the word ‘population’ mean?

- how can you tell if are you sampling the right population?

- what sized sample is representative?

- yesterday you took a sample using one method of sampling, explain what you did and your findings

NO question headings. Write in a paragraphing style. Remember use examples.

A sample is when you take a part of a whole.
You take a sample because it is cheaper, safer, easier and it doesn't take as long.
Have you ever been stopped in a mall or public place to take a survey, that is random sampling.
For example if you are testing how many cars in your country have air bags you population is every car in the country.
If your are sampling if it is safe to bike to school you should ask parents, the children who bike to school and the children who car/bus to school.
This is a program to figure this out.
For my sampling yesterday I did how much students like our house run, we drew out of the hat to take a random sample. About just over half of the sample likes the run.
