4. THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS TEASER: "The right leg/right arm multi-tasking issue. The left hemisphere of your brain is actually controlling the movement in both your right hand and right leg, and it finds it hard to control two opposing movements at the same time," Dr Ganella said.
"The left hemisphere prefers the limbs to be moving together in the same direction, that's why before you know it your leg is trying to turn anticlockwise and both movements become combined into a single motion. When you try it with your right foot and your left hand it's much easier because two different brain hemispheres are at work," she said.

5. Selective Attention Test…silently!

7. Questions Are there cars parked on the sides of the road?
What color is the pickup truck?
Any minivans around?
What does the blue sign say?
What’s the speed limit?
Are there any pedestrians?

8. Observations vs Inferences
Make two columns:
Observation Inference

13. Theory Laws of Nature Proven hypothesis
Has been tested and still holds true
Not a fact
Can be disproven
Results of many observations and experiments
Natural phenomenon
Law of Gravity

14. Graphing 1. USE A RULER ON EVERY STRAIGHT EDGE ON GRAPH PAPER!!
2. Scale:
Can use any multiple, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, etc.
The different axes can have different multiples
Must not skip large amounts of numbers

15. 3. Points: place dots at the points 4. Line (are averages)
Best fit line: line a ruler up through most of the points and draw a line
Best fit curve: draw a curve through the majority of the points

16. Descriptive Title! (not axis)
5. Slope
Find 2 points of the line (not from your data)
Use formula y2-y1/x2-x1
6. Interpolation/Extrapolation
Estimate of where line should continue from your data
extrapolation
interpolation
