You could show how knowledge changes the odds. There is a simple one that almost seems like magic until you understand how it works. \n\n1. Take 3 shells (cups, caps or anything that you can hide an object under.)\n\n2. Hide the object under one of them and mix them up so that you are the only one that knows which shell has the object.\n\n3. Let them pick a shell, but don't show them yet.\n\n4. Whether they pick the correct one or not at least one of the shells that they didn't pick will be empty. Show them an empty shell out of the two they did not pick.\n\n5. Give them the opportunity to change their pick from their first pick to the other one that they did not see. Only if they want to first.  Later to prove the odds experimentally you will direct them whether to stick with their first choice or to change.\n\n Here is the rub: most people will not change because they either will think it is a trick or they will falsely believe that now that they are down to two choices it is a 50/50 chance, so why change. However, they will be wrong in that belief. It is better for them to change their choice. If they stay with their first choice they still only will be right 1/3 of the time, therefore if they change their choice they will be right 2/3 of the time. Most will not believe this even after they are told, so run the experiment both having them keep their 1st choice everytime, and then changing every time. You need to keep track of correct and incorrect choices for both experiments the larger the number of trys in each experiment the closer you will get to 1/3 right for the first experiment and 2/3 right for the second.

Well I recomend Tornadoes. They made a great project for me ^^ U can actually MAKE a tornado in ur classroom WIHTOUT that dinky water bottle trick! It was a great project. Another good one is Mice and shape rocognition. U put together a maze with portals in the shape of triangles, circles and squares, and see if u can train the mice to recognize that the triangles will always lead to the food instead of what they naturally assume(circles) E-mail me for further details on the Tornado Project which I HIGHLY recomned! happiest_phantom@yahoo.com

Is there any way you can make a game that interests you to help you study?  I have made a power point game before.  Making the game also helped me to prepare for my test.  Good luck!

Logic puzzles is one way.  Anything involving computer programming, or even just macro writing, is good for logical thought and analysis.  Chess is excellent, as are many other games.  Look for games of pure reason, where chance is not a factor, or games of chance where calculating the odds is important.  \n\nRead.  Read whatever interests you, but go for the very best of whatever category you like.  Mysteries are especially good for developing reasoning: can you figure out who dunnit before the detective in the story does?  (Which reminds me, speaking of games; play Clue!)\n\nAnd of course, Yahoo! Answers will help a great deal, if you take it seriously.  Enjoy the jokes and riddles, but don't waste your time with those who ask dumb questions just to see if they can get a laugh out of the answers.

If you are just trying to learn try something simple like Tic-Tac-Toe or Breakout.  If you want something a little more complex, try a point and click. These have a huge range. Here is a site with some samples:\nhttp://lazylaces.com/search.asp?s=point%27%27n%27%27click

Um, my answer isn't as complex.  I was going to say try www.quia.com It is an online game site that you can personally design interactive activities to review your current curriculum.\n\nAnother one would be www.webquest.org.  You can find all sorts of webquests for all ages for all sorts of topics.

I've made some damn good ones. Power point is quite fun to play with. If I win as best answer I'll email you one. :) Since I don't see any other way to share a presentation with you.
