May 23 | The Disappearing Smile of Mrs. Brown
Elementary School Science Experiment
Student: Todd Inquisitive
Science Teacher Mrs. Brown
4th Grade
Mastop Elementary School
Experiment Title: The Disappearing Smile of Mrs. Brown
Data Collected:
100% of teachers in the science department are smiling the first day of school
15% of teachers in the science departments are not smiling during the winter
45% of teachers in the science department smile in October
35% of teachers in the science department smile in February
100% of teachers in the science department are smiling the last day of school
The weather is warm on the first day of school
The weather is warm on the last day of school
Hypothesis: Mrs. Brown’s smile disappears because of the cold weather and returns if the weather warms up.
Constant: Mrs. Brown
Variable: Weather
Follow up:
Experiment: I, Todd, have observed Mrs. Brown each day of the school year, and have noted the change in her facial presentation in accordance with the weather report from the Local News Weather Report.
Mrs. Browns Smile
Full Smile....August 2006
Partial Smile....October 2006
Partial Smile....January 2007
Frown.....March 2007
Partial Smile....April 2007
Full Smile....May 2007
Temperature
Aug. 06 (86 deg) Jan. 07 (45 deg) May 07 (92 deg)
Conclusion: There is a direct correlation between Mrs. Browns smile and the weather. Mrs. Brown smiles on the first day, because it is warm out side. Her smile begins to fade as the weather gets colder in the school year, and returns at the end of the school year because the weather is warmer. Mrs. Browns face is very sensitive to the weather, and would smile each day of the school year if it were warm outside.

05/25/09 @ 15:00I think Mrs. Brown's facial expression is directly related to TAKS. Early in the year she hasn't started teaching only to the test. As the year passes the TAKS pressure increases until after the test when she can begin really teaching science again.
While this is funny, I am impressed that the student really does get the scientific method.

05/26/09 @ 08:32You guys are hilarious. We might be able to present this information to the district and get teachers a raise for fear of loosing yall to the warm weather in California :)
Private School Teacher..Good observation about the TAKS test. I think Todds experiment would have supported that had he done it in the 3rd grade :) .
DST congrats on the baptism. I look forward to seeing the pics on Facebook.
