SET DIFFICULTY SIZE SHAPE MATERIAL A INTERMED. VARIES SAME � Idea #1: Filled PVC tubes of differing shapes and sizes � Idea #2: Steel coated with foam in differing shapes and sizes � Idea #3: Various filled bottles www. sportsbottlesusa. com

SET B � Idea DIFFICULTY SIZE SHAPE Intermediate Set B INTERMED. VARIES SAME MATERIAL Vary in size and material but same shape VARIES #1: Tupperware or Russian nesting dolls (same shape, different sizes) filled with different materials (sand, sawdust, metal scraps, gravel)

SET C � Idea DIFFICULTY SIZE SHAPE Intermediate Set C INTERMED. SAME VARIES MATERIAL Vary in material and shape but same size VARIES #1: Same sized, differently shaped bottles, filled with different materials � Idea #2: Same sized, differently shaped combinations of pipe (steel, brass, alum, plastic)

SET D � Idea DIFFICULTY SIZE SHAPE Difficult Set D DIFFICULT VARIES SAME MATERIAL Same in material and shape but vary in size SAME #1: Russian nesting dolls filled with same material � Idea #2: Same-shaped spatulas of increasing size, all same material � Idea #3: Same-shaped bottles of increasing size, filled with same material

Combinations of Objects

Combinations of Objects � How many combinations are actually desired? � For instance, 6 objects whose size, shape, and material all differ will yield 20 different possible combinations of 3. � Taking this further, pulling 6 objects whose size, shape, and material all differ from the intermediate and difficult sets would equate to 6 easy objects with 20 possible combinations. # Objects in Set 4 5 6 8 10 18 # of Different Combinations 4 10 20 56 120 816

Combinations of Objects F E A C B D

Combinations of Objects � If we take this route, we would need to know the number of desired combinations of objects for a given set � Planning the objects in this way would reduce the number of objects to be created (and thus their overall cost), while not limiting the flexibility for the experiment.

Next Steps � Finalize more of the designs for each category after review � Receive approval from Dr. Delong and the personnel at the aquarium � Order � Build the material the objects
