In a scoop and go, the students present at 08:00 were taken west to the covered sidewalk between administration and the dining hall. This term the tape measure was used at both 8:00 and 11:00. The tape measure makes more concretely clear the measurement of meters on the ground.  This term the zero was shifted eat a few meters. The 53 meter mark doesn't make a good deal of difference.

The ten meter intervals are just too small. While there are undoubtedly other GPS apps for iOS, the iOS users are simple told to team up with an Android user. Taysh...

Starting with the solstices and equinoxes presentation took too much time at 24 minutes. I ran out of time in the latitude and longitude introduction at 11:42 and had to try to pack GPS Essentials into the last eight minutes. The prime meridian was not well covered, time ran out.

Opened with working 7.3 homework.  9:13 and marbles were distributed. Marbles were pre-sorted. With the marbles distributed, roll was taken. No marbles were distributed after the roll. 9:16 and the third student. All 75 marbles distributed among 15 students were massed by  9:28.  Spreadsheet This term the 95% confidence intervals for all 15 samples captured the population mean. The population mean was also surprising: 5.1000 grams. Mathematically no more surprising than 5.1417, but for humans, surprising.
