English Martyrs' Afterschool Club

Service Description

The Statistics Club engages students in hands-on activities to explore concepts like Mean, Median, Mode, and Range. Pupils then apply these skills by recreating famous experiments by Archimedes and calculating averages from their results. Weeks 1 & 2: Introduction to Averages An engaging and hands-on workshop during which we employ measuring cylinders, pipettes, and coloured water to explore the concepts of mean, median, mode and range. Week 3: Density Why do boats float? What is density and how do we calculate it? We use some hands-on experiments to decide which objects are denser and the formalise or learning by understand the equation for density. Week 4: Eureka! We go back in time and tell the story of the original density experiment. We then recreate it and take averages of our results to find the approximate density of steel Week 5: Velocity On your marks, get set, go! What does it mean to go fast? We see how fast we’re going by timing pupils running a fixed distance and working out the average velocity.
