1. New in Notebook: Experiment Odds and Ends
Write down in step by step format how you would test who is better in basketball (using a paper basketball and trash can) – boys or girls in this class. Do it in LIST or NUMBERED format.

2. The Step by Step includes:
Who? (did the experiment)
What? (what did they DO?)
Where? (location matters)
When? (often the time of day matters as well)
Details – someone across the country should be able to REPLICATE your study from your instructions.

3. Learning Target:
I will compare and contrast engineering and variable experiments with a Venn Diagram and in the study guide.
