A future lesson will be about calculating the range and average of a group of numbers. Explain
what you understand already about calculating range and average. For example, can you calculate
the range of the number set (0, 2, 7, 9)? Can you calculate the average of the number set (2, 4, 9)? If so, explain your solving process.

Which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: Based on our data, as the area of the underside of the aluminum boat increased so did the number of quarters the boat could hold before sinking. There was one boat that didn't follow this pattern and we are not sure why. The maximum sinking weight using our sheet of aluminum foil was 180. 2 grams of quarters.

The distance travelled and travel time data of the rolling ball are divided in order to calculate the average speed of the rolling ball.
Mr. Mazza places a tennis ball at the top of a ramp and releases it letting it roll down the ramp.
As the tennis ball rolls down the ramp the student wonders to themself about what affect might a heavier ball have on the ball rolling results.
After comparing the ball rolling results for balls of different weights the student emails the results to a fellow physics teacher. In the email the student explains the results.
During each trial of a ball of different weight rolling down the ramp Mr. Mazza sets up the same ramp then collects the distance and time data.
