Our 4S Friday picks for the four NFL Playoff games this weekend. I will list each teacher's and student's picks, and swap out names with a kind of rock. That way, you can see which -- if any -- bracket (group of four picks) is all correct, but you will have to wait until Monday to see which rock name you were given. The "total points" is the sum of all the winning teams' points. It's a tie-breaker if more than one 4S class member guesses all four games correctly.
For example: I will tell you that I gave myself the rock known as "granite" and these are my picks:
You can click on the name of the rock to find out more about it and view a virtual specimen.
I just randomly assigned students with rocks, so there's no reason or rhyme to the name of the rock and your name. (So, for example, if your name starts with a certain letter, it's not a necessity that your rock's name starts with that letter.)
1)How many different possible outcomes are there for the weekend slate of games?
2) Have we covered all of the options for the outcomes? (FYI - I added a couple sets of picks for the students who were not able to make their own picks on Friday afternoon, and I tried to make those picks different from all of the others.)
If you are not able to access the links I put onto the different rock names, please click here to get to the excellent Earth@Home virtual rock collectio to find the link for your rock type. Good luck to all of us -- may you "rock" your bracket. haha.
