2 Statistics and the Casio fx-9750G Plus • Activity 1 Copyright © Casio, Inc.
Getting Started
For this activity you will need the Casio fx-9750G Plus graphing calculator, one
piece of bubble gum for each student, and a small ruler for each pair of students.
Hubba Bubba® and Bubble Yum® bubble gums work well, usually better than
off brands for blowing bubbles.
Off brands of bubble gum work somewhat well and lose flavor quickly which
could be a benefit to your management of bubble blowing after the activity is
complete. You could also have your students bring packs of gum for extra credit.
Also, to help with classroom management, you might prefer to have the students
throw their gum away as soon as they have completed their measurements.
If you would prefer your students not do the activity themselves, have them do
the calculations and questions with the sample data. In that case, the answers to
the questions are included in the activity worksheets. If you do not want the
students to have the solution in front of them, just give them the sample data and
the set of questions to answer from the first page of the Student Activity sheet.
