Stats-Minded Scrabble® Tournament

STEM Lab: Build, Tinker, Explore, We The People

Stats-Minded Scrabble® Tournament

Grades 9 - 12

45 Minutes

In traditional games of Scrabble® or other word games, the player with the highest total score is declared the winner. Not so in today’s activity! Students will play a word game in which the winner achieves a certain statistical goal, such as a mean score closest to 12 points or a set of scores with the greatest standard deviation.

Discover Activity

Find the Bugs! Fix the Bugs!

STEM Lab: Build, Tinker, Explore, Digital Voices

Find the Bugs! Fix the Bugs!

Grades 9 - 12

45 Minutes

When a newly written program is run on a computer, it rarely works as the coder intended. Programmers use the word bugs to describe errors in a program that affect the user. In this activity, students will analyze 1 or more programs in the Basic language to identify the bugs, and then fix them. The 5 sample programs offer a range of experiences for student coders, from novice to expert.

Discover Activity

Chemical Element Family Feud

STEM Lab: Build, Tinker, Explore, The Natural World

Chemical Element Family Feud

Grades 9 - 12

45 Minutes

It’s the alkaline earth metals vs. the halogens in Chemical Element Family Feud. In this engaging and educational activity, students act as contestants, announcers, and even the scoreboard of the famous television game show, but with the twist that the subject is the periodic table. Make sure that someone records the activity because it will be a hit with school science teachers.

Discover Activity
