As you know from my Daily YouTube Update I am not the proud caretaker of a salamander name “Spots”. Your job, using the outcomes and pointers below, is to create a plan to care for the salamander. Your plan can be presented in any way you choose; this includes a list, diagram, paragraphs, how to video or a combination of these methods.
Outcomes:
7-1-02 Define ecosystem, and describe various examples that range from the microscopic to the entire biosphere.
Include: a place on Earth where living things interact with other living things as well as non-living things
7-1-03 Identify abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems that allow particular organisms to survive.
Things to consider:
- What does it eat?
- What does it need for shelter/ as a living space?
- What does it like as far as light, temperature and moisture?
- What types of vegetation does it like?
- What things does it like?
- What things does it dislike?
- What should my plan be for releasing the salamander?
- Etc.
Good luck! Spots depends on you!

Today we are looking at probability. Your job is to compare Theoretical Probability with Experimental Probability. Theoretical Probability is what should happen and Experimental Probability is what actually happens. These numbers are written as fractions with the number of occurrences on top and the number of trials on the bottom. So if I flip a coin twice and I get heads once that is written as 1/2.
You will need a coin, a 6 sided dice and a homemade spinner with paper, a pen and a paperclip.
Task 1- If I flip a coin 50 times I should see heads 25 times according to theoretical probability (Written 25/50) . Your first task is to flip the coin 50 times to see how many times you get heads. That number will be your experimental probability. Write down your findings.
Task 2- If I roll a six-sided dice 24 times I should see any given number 4 times according to theoretical probability (Written 4/24). We are going to choose the number 3. Roll the dice 24 times to see how many times you land on 3. That number will be your experimental probability. Write down your findings.
Task 3- If I spin a 4 section spinner 40 times I should hit each given section 10 times according to theoretical probability (Written 10/40). Mark one square (shade it in, write your name in it, etc.) and spin the spinner 40 times; see how many times you land on the marked square. That number will be your experimental probability. Write down your findings.
