Interesting how your students responded. I wonder how an experiment like this would have gone over in the GED classes I used to teach.

And I appreciate the additional links and ideas, too

What a great experiment to conduct. Reading this makes me wonder how students would react to other such invitations.

What would they do with a simple simulation, for example? http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park-basics

Or an interactive story?

Or, what if the game was Scrabble?

Your process of replicating the Anderson’s experiment is an inspiration because the students are the relevant data. It communicates to them that the way they work, think and tick is of great interest.

Just when we think we have them figured out, our students continue to surprise us. I wonder what their thinking was? Thanks for sharing your experiment!

I can’t imagine them not being completely interested… very interesting…

Same age as yours?
Also on another note, my son got a stop motion animation app put out by Lego for his iPod touch… He has made 2 movies so far, he is definitely playing around and learning how to space the pictures so they look more animated…

I do so the Pokeman trend coming back among the 2nd grade set! It’s hard to be on top of what’s hot and what’s not!

I see kids of various ages (1st to 5th) and I wonder if they would have different responses based on their ages.
