Make the table chart in your notebook to complete the investigation.

Notebook stop: How did having data from the other coins help you revise your predictions? Explain how you revised predictions compared to the actual number of drops compared to your first predictions. (Answer in your notebook)

Which student had controlled variables? How do you know?

What data did both students collect? What variable did Maritza change on purpose that Juliana could not?

We will create a class coin flip chart to record the data.

Every NFL game starts with a coin toss to determine who gets the ball first. Here is the coin toss for the Bucs Super Bowl game!

As you watch the video, think about why every game would start with a coin toss.

Is this a fair way to determine who gets the ball first?

What makes it fair?

How do people know if tossing a coin is fair?

Essential Question: Why is it important for scientists to use evidence when supporting answers to questions?

There are many ways that scientists can gather data to answer questions. Any time scientists gather data in a systematic way they are conducting some type of investigation.

Some investigations are as simple as observing and recording what is happening.

Some investigations involve controlling many variables and establishing a cause-effect relationship.

Let's compare two investigations about the same question.

What actions did Juliana do to collect data? How does that compare to what Maritza did?

What types of data did Juliana collect? How is that different than the data Maritza collected?

Did Juliana do any steps to keep her data collection the same? Did Maritza?
