Math Quiz everyweek from now on

 To make sure you pay attention in class and do your homework

Scrambled egg exaperiments

 Water at room temperature has a density of 1g/mL

Anything with a lower density (e.g. oil) will float on top of water

Higher density (e.g. a coin) will sink


Experiment 1

- Put ice cubes in a glass of water. Ice floats. \This means solid water (ice) has a higher density

- for most substance, the solids are more dense than the liquid

- the other exception is scrambled eggs


Experiment 2

- 2 eggs, scramble

-cook it in a hot pan

- put the cooked eggs in water to see if it sinks or floats

- find out why solid scrambled eggs have a higher density than the liquid after cooking

 ORANGE

Case 1

- a bag of letters from A to Z

- pick 1 letter at a time

- put it back into the bag afterwards

- what is the probability of spelling the word "ORANGE" correctly?

- note: no repeated letter in ORANGE


Case 2

BANANA

- A and N are repeated

- what is the probability of spelling it right

 8C

- lets' redo the TWO DICE probability question again

- I will check your work tomorrow. Get them done please


- 2 dice, 75 attempts, determine the probability of getting an even outcome 

(e.g. 1-3 = 4, thus even outcomes)

Believe it or not, in theory, there is  57.1% chance (12/21) of getting an even outcome.

Only 42.9% (9/21) of an odd outcome.

Test this with your experiments. Compare theoretical and experimental results


MATHEMATICS

- these letters are written in separate cards

- one card is drawn at a time. Then put back

- what is the probability of getting a vowel card? Explain

- If 666 cards are drawn, approximately how many vowel cards are there?


8D

- find five very long words (at least 10 letters long) and compose five questions

1234 cards are drawn randomly. How many vowel cards are there for each word

- show sample calculations

Angioplasty = pop open a clogged artery

(My uncle Dr Kwok, a cardiologist, does 10 a week)

 8C, 8D probability

- dice (theortical, 75 attempts, convert tallies into decimal)

By next Wednesday Feb 12, please take a selfie with a milkshake or Smoothie and see how viscosity affects the drinking experience

- it should be very hard to drink (not scooping up) the shake from MCD (3 scoops of ice cream and one part of milk. Very fattening, extremely unhealthy)

- time how long it will take to warm up before you can have your first sip (30m?)
