How can we answer that question? This week in 5th grade we had a globe toss! We tossed the globe 100 times and tallied where our left thumb landed: Water or Land? You can get more specific and tally which body of water or which continent you land on. Each student wrote a hypothesis before conducting the class experiment. Extra Globe Toss Activities: 1. Create a pie chart with the class results 2. Probability:"What is the probability my thumb will land in water?" 3. Percents:"If I toss the globe 50 times and my thumb lands in water 47 times, what is the percentage of times my thumb landed on water?" Materials: 1. Inflatable globe 2. Sheet to record globe toss results
