Gathering Real Life Data

Is it Strawberry Jam or a Centipede?
Licorice or Skunk Spray?
Juicy Pear or Booger?



What is the likelihood you'll get a good one?
One that tastes sweet and yummy and makes your heart sing.
Or...will it be one that makes you run to the trash can in an attempt to get the taste out of your mouth as soon as possible??

That was today's in-class assignment...to taste Bean Boozled Jelly Bellies.
Willing students selected a Jelly Belly and gave it a chew or two.
We will use the data for our Probability unit in November.

Here are the results...





It was Skunk Spray!!!  Yuck!!!











Thanks students...and some USD 309 staff...for helping make our data collection a Beanboozled success!
