Guess:

• How many drops of water do you think a heads-up penny will hold?

Gather the Data:

• Count how may drops it will actually hold

Record the data:

• Record the number of drops the heads-up penny held
  
• Find the mean, median, mode and range for the class
  
• Create a stem-and-leaf plot of the class data
  
• Use the data to create a box and whisker plot

Analyze the data:

• Do the same activity with the tails-up penny
  
• Compare the results from both sides of the penny
