Introduction
The purpose of this project was to
show that the Earth is covered mostly
by water. A Ball
Globe was tossed by the
instructor to each student. The position of the left
and right thumb was recorded at the
end of each toss. The data was entered into the computer for results.
Methodology
Samples used were from three different sources. Sets 1
and 2 were from the Instructor & Student tossing of the Ball Globe. Set 3 was
based on an individual student vote. The
question asked was “Is there more land or water on the Earth?”
Discussion and Results
Set 1:The number nine is located in the land category and number twenty-three is in the water category. Set 2:Ten is the number
located in the land category
and twenty-two is in the water
category. Set 3: The Land has
five votes and WATER has eleven
votes.
Conclusion:
We conclude that Earth’s surface is mostly water. Yet
there is some question onAcknowledgements
