Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.
Students view a set of images to answer questions about the camera angles used and the effects these create. Students also suggest sound effects and dialogue for the images.
