Agenda

  1. Data day — every group gets a fresh data set: cooling water, a bouncing ball, dice that decay
  2. From table to equation — hunt the constant ratio, then name the base
  3. Discuss: What Makes a Model Good — fit is not the whole story
  4. Double or Nothing due — two-minute stand-up summaries

Things to do before our next class
