Box and whisker plots display data through a box and whisker format. To create one, the data is first arranged from smallest to largest. The median is found as the middle number or average of the two middle numbers. Quartiles are determined by finding the median of the lower and upper halves of the data. The whiskers represent the smallest and largest values. A box and whisker plot is drawn with a number line, median line, quartile lines, and whiskers connecting the minimum and maximum dots. John Tukey invented the box and whisker plot in 1977 to visually display statistics.

SLA theory accepts participation in discourse is effective in acquiring L2, yet strategies adult ESOL learners use to speak at length are overlooked in practice. Data from adult ESOL learners' conversations show 1) strategies learners use to hold the floor; 2) genres of extended discourse, evidence to inform L2 practice.
The document defines and provides examples for mean, median, and mode. Mean is calculated by adding all numbers and dividing by the total. Median involves ordering numbers and taking the middle value. Mode is the number that occurs most frequently. An example for each is given using the numbers 2, 2, and 69.
The document defines and explains how to calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. The mean is the average found by adding all values and dividing by the total numbers. The median is the middle number after putting the data in numerical order. The mode is the number that occurs most frequently. The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values found by subtracting the two numbers.

The document provides an overview of understanding the Chinese personality by examining it through different aspects such as Chinese food, medicine, and instruments. The author conducted research from various sources including books, interviews, and the internet to understand how aspects of Chinese culture reflect the Chinese tendency towards balance and ambiguity. The author created a PowerPoint presentation to summarize their findings and demonstrate how examining everyday cultural elements can provide insights into how the Chinese think.
Diane Guo created a lamp over several weeks. She cut circles and legs from wood using tools like a bend saw and jig saw. She assembled the lamp by cutting slots for legs and gluing pieces together. Diane covered the lamp frame in flax, which was a long process requiring care. In the end, the lamp was complete and lit up, though it was initially unstable. Diane fixed this by sanding down longer legs to be even.
The document summarizes a student's design project to create a biomimicry night lamp. The student wrote a design brief specifying the lamp would be made of sustainable materials and be 500x300x300 mm. The final product was 450x250x250 mm and made of plywood and string, meeting the brief. The student evaluated their design process and identified areas for improvement, such as conducting more thorough research and creating more realistic designs. They determined the final product met their objectives and design specifications.
Diane began working on her lamp project by cutting out the top and bottom circles using a compass and bend saw. She found the bend saw to be a very efficient tool for cutting circles. However, the bend saw later broke down, forcing her to use alternative tools like a jig saw and coping saw to cut out the legs and slots. She documented her progress, including smoothing edges with a disc sander and drill press. Diane assembled the legs and top piece to test the fit of the slots but realized she needs to cut a hole in the center of the top piece to change the bulb.
Diane Guo wrote an essay discussing the costs and ethical issues related to space exploration. Space exploration requires high technology and large financial investments, such as the $109 billion spent on the Apollo program. However, critics argue that the money spent on space could be better used to address problems on Earth like providing clean water and food for those in need. Space exploration can also negatively impact the environment through rocket exhaust and the accumulation of space junk. While it provides some benefits, countries should reduce spending on space and instead focus on developing technologies that directly improve life on Earth.
Life is not something to be taken lightly as death is permanent. Mortality is not reversible as once someone passes away, they do not return to life. One must be cautious and value their life.
Diane Guo designed a space shuttle for a mission to Mars. The shuttle is cone-shaped to reduce atmospheric resistance. It will be made of titanium, a hard material that can withstand heat. To land, the shuttle will use parachutes at 10km above Earth and a rudder, wheels, and speed brakes. It will carry two astronauts, 400kg of food, oxygen, nitrogen and water produced from fuel cells. The shuttle will use rockets and engines fueled by hydrazine to overcome Earth's gravity and reach Mars after approximately 164 days.
The document discusses whether multimedia violence is a problem for children. It notes that children watch an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes of television per day, where it is impossible to avoid violent scenes. While some argue that media violence does not make children more aggressive, the document asserts that extensive exposure to violence can desensitize children to violence and make them more likely to see violence as a way to solve problems. It concludes that multimedia violence does have negative impacts on children's behaviors and can lead to increased real-life violence.
Christopher's father displays qualities of a good father through his patience and care for his son, who has Asperger's syndrome. While Christopher gets into trouble and struggles to communicate, his father remains calm, explains rules kindly without yelling, and trusts Christopher's intentions. Additionally, he does not abandon Christopher like his mother did, but keeps caring for him through his challenges by supporting his education and helping him socialize. Though not a perfect father, he tries his best to understand Christopher and help him succeed while providing love and responsibility as a parent.

The document summarizes the process of gluing a triangle onto a box. First, the person drilled 4 holes in the triangle to match holes in the box. A counter-sink drill was used to widen the tops of the holes so that the entire screws would fit flush. Finally, glue was applied to the triangle and screws were used to securely attach it to the box.
The document summarizes the process of cutting front and back triangles for a woodworking project. The author used a pull saw to cut the triangles because it could reach all the way through and was faster than a tenon saw. They made a mistake by cutting at an angle instead of keeping the cut perpendicular to the workbench, resulting in an uneven cut. They plan to sand the edges of the triangles to make them even before measuring and marking the next steps of the project.
The book "Tomorrow When the War Began" by John Marsden is about a group of teenagers who go on a camping trip and return home to find that their country has been invaded. They become guerilla fighters to rescue their families and fight for their survival. Throughout the story, the characters are forced to do things they never imagined, like killing others, in order to survive in the war. One character, Ellie, sets a garden on fire and kills three soldiers who were chasing her friends in order to save themselves. Surviving the war requires the characters to do extreme acts, even if they are bad, to stay alive against the invading forces.
The document summarizes observations from a user trial of a moving toy with kindergarten children ages 3-4. The children were able to identify the toy animals and played with the toys in creative ways, such as pretending the spring was a guitar. However, some children pulled the springs too hard in a way that could hurt others. Based on the children's engagement and requests to buy the toys, the trial suggests the toys were generally a success, but that safety instructions may need to be provided.

The children were able to identify the toy animals and played with the toys in creative ways, such as pretending the spring was a guitar. However, some children pulled the springs too hard in a way that could hurt others. Based on the trial, the creator learned they need to teach children how to properly and safely play with the toys.
The student created a moving toy project of a chick hanging from a palm tree. While the overall design matched the intended concept, the palm leaves were sharp and took a long time to cut out. For future projects, the student would simplify the design and choose harder woods to allow for better movement. The spring was also too small and did not allow for much bouncing. Some redesign is needed to make the toy safer and bounce more for the intended younger age range.
1) The author repainted their chick toy to smooth out bumps and apply a second layer of paint.
2) They then drew a mouth and eyes on the chick since they did not like the plastic eyes.
3) The author struggled to get the spring attached correctly, as the first spring was too short and a second try did not work well either.
The document summarizes work done on a craft project involving drilling and sanding. It discusses drilling a hole in a chick figure to insert a spring, and carefully drilling a hole in a leaf that the chick will hang from. It also mentions using a hand plane to shape a leaf into a V and sanding the edges of another leaf to give it a curved shape. The next steps will be screwing the leaves onto the base and painting the completed project.
