1 Name: _______________________________________ Coin Game: Scientific Method in Strategy Part 3: Play 5 Matches 1. Yes or no, can a player ever collect coin(s) from a column? 2. What was your hypothesis to beat your opponent? 3. How were you experimenting to see if your hypothesis was valid? 4. What data did you collect—or what did you measure—as a result of your experimentation? 5. After experimenting [playing 5 matches], was your hypothesis valid? How can you be sure? 6. Your hypothesis was likely invalid at some point. If you had to start over (a feeling common to many scientists) what would be your new hypothesis? Part 4: Play 5 Matches (Revised Hypothesis) 7) Out of the 10 matches you played what is your win and loss record? 8) Based on your results, what do you think is the best hypothesis on how to win the coin game? 9) Do you think it is possible for a player to set themselves up to win the coin game from the very first coin collected?

2 10) Does your original or revised hypothesis have what it takes to become a scientific theory or law?
