Experiment 1: Genec Variaon<br />

Materials<br />

Blue beads<br />

Red beads<br />

Green beads<br />

Yellow beads<br />

2 100mL Beakers<br />

2 250mL Beakers<br />

NOTE: When done return beads<br />

to their respecve beakers (1 or<br />

2).<br />

Procedure<br />

1. Pour 50 blue beads and 50 red beads into a 250 ml beaker. Without looking, randomly take<br />

2. Pour 50 green beads and 50 yellow beads into a second 250 ml beaker. Without looking,<br />

randomly take 20 beads from the 250 ml beaker and place them in the other 100 ml beaker<br />

(this is beaker #2).<br />

Quesons<br />
