Presentation Transcript

  1. How to Throw a Smashing Party! Hosts/Hostesses: Jennifer Fleck, Adie Slaton, Andy Seo, Kris Mason, Kamra Schlottog

  2. The Math and Science Behind Getting Together • Tolerance Levels • How many happy people need to be present? • Single Sexed-Groups • Do opposites really attract?

  3. Tolerance Level 38% of people must have tolerance for others to have a smashing good time… Those 38% eventually go off by themselves!

  4. Opposites DO NOT Attract! PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN SINGLE-SEXED GROUPS

  5. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HIGH SCHOOL MATH AND SCIENCE…

  6. To Introduce the Scientific Method Using NetLogo! • Relevant and Fun for Students • No Complex Terminology (i.e. Math and Science words) • Many Variables to Manipulate (Use • Design Complex System (Utilize Analytical Skills) • Build on skills to use in later, more science related topics

  7. Scientific Method Standards • STATE GOAL 11:HAVE A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROCESSES OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY AND TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN TO INVESTIGATE QUESTIONS, CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS AND SOLVE PROBLEMS.

  8. CAS A: Propose, consider, analyze, and evaluate alternative explanations to scientific phenomena. • CAS B: Conduct full-scale scientific investigations: formulate the questions to be answered, design approaches that incorporate appropriate variables and controls, implement solutions, collect and record qualitative and quantitative data, and communicate the results. • CAS C: Know and apply the concepts, principles, and processes oftechnological design.
