I needed a little push with the computer work, but I was done in no time! It was smooth sailing after that. I plotted out the data, drew the line, and got some less than accurate predictions. My closest was 5 away while others got exact! I think this is because my line was alot less slanted than the others in my group (Kristen and Eliot).

At first, my group got kind of confused on how to plot in the first place, but at the end we all got it. My data was the closest in my group of Amelia and Harrison. I think my data was closest, because my line hit more of my data (meaning it was more center). The closest I came with my predictions was of Mr. Jones's head circumference. I was exact with 24.74". The second closest was my little sister, Grace. I was only 0.5" off. I had a lot of fun with measuring the Mystery Guests! : )

I think I did pretty well with my predictions, if I do say so myself. I got several correct, and a couple less than one inch off! It was funny how close together the dots on the graph were. The graph really helped with making predictions, but I still needed to use some logic to make completely accurate predictions.

I liked this project because it was fun!! What i first did was plotted data onto a piece of graph paper and then i drew a line of best fit. Then i used the persons height to predict their head circumference. Then i figured out their actual head circumference and my predictions were off by a little bit.

Mr jones came in today and we measured him and our group for the hand was WAYYYYYYY off. His hand was 8 and our group geussed 11.5. I was close to my twin brother(yes, I am a twin) and his hand was 5 and I geussed 4.6.

I was close to the measurments of people when they had a height of 56 to 66 inches but if it was below this or above this it was not correct. I think that this is because we did not have any data for people of different heights we only got it from people in our class so we did not have a wide variety. So it was hard to draw a line through the middle of the data that would be correct in guessing other data. If we had a wider variety of data i could of drawn a more accurate line.

I think I did a very good job on my predictions for my family. But for the mystery guests I was a little bit more off. I am not quite sure why this is but I am very proud of myself for trying! for my sister I was only .5 off and for my mom I was only .5 off to. But for my dad I got the exact number!

Today in class, i learned that a persons height has nothing to do with the persons head circumference. When R. J. and Nick came in, the were 49-50 inches tall. Their head circumference was about 20.5 inches. But when Graeme and all the other high schoolers came in and we found out their heights, i found that their head circumference was anywhere from 22 inches to 25 inches. So, in the end, I learned that the height of a person did nothing to the head circumference of the person, but that the wingspan of a person should match the persons height exactly.

Also, at my table, Ava and Harrison had about the same looking line. My line was way different, but still had even plots on each side. Surprisingly, my predictions were WAYYY off! On my line, the shorter the person was, the smaller their head would be. The taller the person was, the bigger their head would be. On Ava and Harrison's line, it looked like it almost went all the way across the page evenly, but it did have a slight upward slant. when I heard their predictions and the actual head circumference compared to their predictions, I was even more surprised. Their predictions were very close while my line was completely different, and my predictions were off, probably because of my lines shape. but in all, I learned that the head circumference really did not matter in the whole height situation.

I really enjoyed this project. We should do things more like this often Mrs. Reulbach! : )

See everyone tomorrow! byebye

it was really fun and easy. i really liked it and want to do a little bit more with it if we can. i really did lov doing this because it was fun easy and was really cool to try to predict peoples head circomfrance. i was reslly close on most of them.my plots were really acurate but not perfect. see yall tomarrow rachel;)<3

I liked this project a lot. It was really engaging. My favorite part was marking the points on the graph. I liked the way that everyones height was around the same and that we had a few outliers. This was a very fun project and I would really enjoy doing more things like this Mrs. Reulbach! :)

I liked this project because it was really fun and i found out how easy it is to estimate heights and things.It was a really cool way to find the estimates, and some of the estimates where close, but one way of for mine. I hope we do something like this again! I also liked sharing our findings and how some people at our table had different slants so that added to to a different estimate.

ADIOS!!

I think I did pretty well on this too. For my family, I got really close for the measurements. The mystery guest part was a little more difficult for me for some reason though. It was fun to do the points on the graph and find the prediction estimate. I hope we do something like this again too!

I was amazed in how you can find out so many things with a persons hieght. But figuring out the correct line of (I can't rember) was not the easiest thing for me. In that it was entertaining to chase my cat around trying to figure out his measurements. We should stay on this unit for a little while longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was amazed how you can use a graph to pull up height, head Circumfurence, hand length. I think i did pretty well I kinda got Cunfused when we had to plot Are parents. I messed up on the height i didnt know where to put the data.

I enjoyed this project a lot. It was very fun to have the guest speakers come in. I thought it was fun when the guest speakers came in, because it was fun to use the graph to try to find their head circumference. Overall, I thought this project was very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this project. By my surprise my predictions were very close. It was really fun when the guests came in (especially mr.jones). I always thought that people would be shorter then they acually were a lot.

I thought this was a very interesting project. I thought it was cool to measure Davis, Zach, and my mom. I thought it was interesting to see that Davis and my mom's hands were the same hand length. Lastly, I thought it was a very fun project, I enjoyed it!

I thought the project was fun and kinda easy. When the guest speakers came it was surprising to see who it was! It was also amazing to see how the graph and plot worked.It was pretty cool when you compared haylnna's and mine and how if I had less data then it would be less accurate and if it had more data it would be more accurate. Overall it was pretty fun!

This project was really fun. I was very surprised that i was correct on one of the guests length.... Zach! I also thought it was so cool that the graph and line actually worked! This project was a lot of fun and very cool. I hope the fifth graders will enjoy this project next year!

This project was totally awesome!!! I absolutely loved it! Mrs. Reulbach,please do more stuff like this! i thougt it was really cool how the line predictions were either really close to the actual measurement or not close at all! I think next year,the fifth graders will LOVE THIS PROJECT!!!!!

i really like this project it was so fun!!!!!!! I can't believe how acurate some peoples graphs were, JUlias was so good and acurate. I was suprised to see that me and matt had very simila graphs but his estimate for mrs. Packard was like a whole inch bigger than mine, and our graphs looked so alike. i really liked having the guest speakers, i would want to be one next year. I really want to do projects like this again when we really interacted and were kept engaged while having fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
