Third segment contains a program hands on activity that explores the effect of stress on muscles in the hand. The program hands on activity reviews scatterplots, box and whisker plots and stem and leaf plots.
Before R.J. speaks with Dr. Sagnier, I think it's time for you to strengthen your muscles
00:00:00
and increase your muscle stamina.
00:00:08
The students at Oxon Hill Middle School will preview this program's hands-on activity,
00:00:10
entitled Good Stress.
00:00:15
Hi.
00:00:17
NASA Connect asked us to show you this program's hands-on activity.
00:00:18
In this activity, you will be exploring the effects of stress on the muscles in your hands.
00:00:22
And you will gain experience collecting, analyzing, and visually representing data.
00:00:28
You can download a copy of the Educator's Guide from the NASA Connect website.
00:00:35
Before you begin the activity, it's a good idea to review how to make and interpret three
00:00:39
types of plots.
00:00:45
Scatter plots, box and whisker plots, and stem and leaf plots.
00:00:47
Do you remember what a scatter plot is?
00:00:53
A scatter plot is a graph that displays two variables as ordered pairs.
00:00:57
You can use a scatter plot to determine how one variable relates to another.
00:01:02
A box and whisker plot is a graph that summarizes a data set along a number line.
00:01:07
There is a box in the middle and whiskers at either side.
00:01:14
The least value of the data set determines the left whisker.
00:01:19
The greatest value of the data set determines the right whisker.
00:01:24
You form the box using quartiles.
00:01:29
Quartiles divide the data into four equal parts.
00:01:33
Box and whisker plots are useful with very large data sets or for making comparisons
00:01:37
between data sets.
00:01:42
A stem and leaf plot is a graph that uses the digits of each number to show the shape
00:01:44
of the data.
00:01:50
Each data value is broken into a stem, digit or digits on the left, and a leaf, digit or
00:01:51
digits on the right.
00:02:00
A key is needed to explain what your stems and leaves represent.
00:02:02
A stem and leaf plot can quickly show the distribution of a data set and retains each
00:02:07
data value.
00:02:13
Your teacher can show you example problems using different plots.
00:02:14
Now, are you ready to put your math skills to the test?
00:02:18
Good.
00:02:21
Now back to the activity.
00:02:22
Working in groups of two, predict the number of times you will be able to click a clothes
00:02:23
pin between your thumb and index finger in your non-dominant hand for a one minute period.
00:02:29
Record your prediction.
00:02:36
Hold the clothes pin in your non-dominant hand between your thumb and index finger.
00:02:39
While your partner is watching the timer, count the number of times you are able to
00:02:44
click the clothes pin in a one minute period.
00:02:48
Record the result.
00:02:51
Rest for one minute, then predict again and repeat clicking the clothes pin in a one minute
00:02:53
period.
00:02:59
You need to complete three trials.
00:03:00
Be sure to hold the clothes pin the same way during every time trial.
00:03:03
Now, switch roles with your partner and have him or her conduct the exact same experiment
00:03:07
and record the results.
00:03:13
Each group will need to repeat the experiment every other day for two weeks.
00:03:16
Record your predictions and results.
00:03:22
This is the conditioning period.
00:03:24
The stress induced by the clothes pin on the muscles of the hand will cause the muscles
00:03:26
to become stronger and gain stamina.
00:03:32
Make sure you record all your data in a clear and organized way.
00:03:35
This will help you to answer all the discussion questions and to produce visual representations
00:03:40
of the data.
00:03:45
And don't forget to check out the web activity for this program.
00:03:46
It can be downloaded from the NASA Connect website.
