- Make observations
- Write down all questions
- Classify or give a reason for why you made your observation
- Write down any questions you have as a result of your observations
- Purpose a hypothesis for each observation
- Even better can you purpose one Hypothesis that explains them all (Occam's Razor)->look it up and post
- First poster to Summarize the types of Observations that can be made gets a free HW.

| Why don't you have a potty chart? |
Observations:
ReplyDelete23 stars
Multiple Colors
Days of the week written on left
Paper
Chart
Why are some of the section have no stars?
Do the different colors mean anything?
I made these observations because when I looked at the picture, this is what I saw.
All of these observations can only be made by sight because you can just see it in a picture.
Occam's razor- among completing hypothesis, the one with the least assumptions should be selected.
The potty chart tracks the days of the week and using stars to organize some information.
Observation:
DeleteHas stickers that are stars
Thursday and Saturdays there are no stickers
Monday has the most amount of stickers
There are stickers near the title of the chart
Hypothesis: Richie went to the bathroom in his pants more often on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Many colors

Why do some days not have any stars?
What do the different color stars mean?
When i looked at the picture above i made all of these observations.
The only way that any of these observations could have been made is by sight.
Occam's razor- when you complete the hypothesis, the one with the least assumptions should be chosen.
Overall, the Potty chart is used to track the days of the week and something that is unknown.
Observations:
ReplyDelete-23 stars all together
-stars vary in color, red, blue, pink, green, and silver
-days of week written on left
Questions:
-Who's Richie?
-Do the colors mean anything?
-Why are there stars at the top of the page?
-Is it #1 or #2, or both?
-What does it mean if there are no stars in one of the days?
Hypothesis:
If the stars represent both #1 and #2, then Richie did not go to the bathroom once on Saturday and Thursday.
Observations:
ReplyDeleteOn paper
23 stars total
Stars are multicolored
Days of the week are categories
Chart
Monday has the most stars
Thursday and Saturday have the least stars
Questions:
Who is Richie?
What do the stars represent?
Why keep a chart?
Why are the stars multicolored?
I made these observations based on what I saw in the picture.
Hypothesis:
The stars represent how many times Richie successfully went to the bathroom on each day. The differences could be attributed o Richie's eating and drinking routines on certain days.

whos richie?
do the different colors mean anything?
i made my observations by looking at the picture.
i made the observation by using my vision because thats what you see when you look at the picture.
Occam's razor- after you finish the hypothesis, the one with no guesses or assumptions should be picked.
The chart is organizing days of the week and how many times Richie goes to the bathroom on those days

Observations
ReplyDeleteMulticolored stars
23 different stars
Days of the week are listed
maximum day is Monday
Minimum days are Thursday and Saturday
Questions?
Who is Richie?
Why does he have a potty chart?
Do different color stars mean different things?
How long is the chart? days/weeks/months
Hypothesis

Sara VanDyke
Observations:
ReplyDeletea chart
23 stars
diffrent colors
diffrent amounts in each row
monday has the most stars
thusday and friday have 3 stars
I made these observations by looking at at the chart, all the information was on the chart, not all rows have the same amount,certain rows have have none, and one has the most. There are diffrent colored stars. Also some of the rows have the same amount of stars in them.
Questions:
What do the diffrent colors mean?
What do the stars represent?
Why keep a chart?
Hypothesis:
My hypothesis is that the diffrent colors are symbols for what Richie did in the bathroom. The srars represent the amount of times he made it to the bathroom. Also the chart is to keep thack on how many times he uses the bathroom.
Occam Razor:the maxim that assumptions introduced to explain a thing must not be multiplied beyond necessity
Observations:
ReplyDelete-Monday has the most stars
-Wednesday has the second most stars
-Tuesday and Friday have an equal amount of stars
-Sunday has the second to least amount of stars
-Thursday and Saturday have none/least amount of stars
-Stars are different colors
-There are more red stars than silver ones
-There are more green stars than blue ones
Questions:
-Who is Richie?
-Why does Richie have a chart?
-How old is Richie?
-Over how long of a period of time is the chart recording information?
By looking/using at the chart, I was able to make my assumptions/observations.
Hypothesis- Each successful trip using the bathroom that Richie completes, there is another star added to the day in which he made the trip. -KM
Observations
ReplyDeleteA chart of every day of the week
19 stars on all of the days combined
stars are different colors
some days has a different amount of stars
monday had the most stars
thursday and Saturday had the least amount of stars
the amount stars decrease as the week goes on
Questions
Who is Richie?
what would you use a potty chart for?
what do the stars represent?
why is the amount of stars different for each day?
Hypothesis
If Richie consumes different amounts of Food, liquid, and fiber each day, than he will go to the bathroom different amounts every day depending on how much he consumed that day.
Observations:
ReplyDeleteThere are all seven days of the week
In the days of the week section there are 19 multicolored stars
Next to the title "Richie's Potty Chart" there are four more multicolored stars
Overall there are 23 multicolored stars
There are no stars on Thursday and Sunday
Questions
Who is Richie?
What do the stars mean?
What time span are we looking at on the chart?
Why are the stars multicolored?
Why are there stars next to the title?
Hypothesis
The stars represent each time Richie successfully went to the bathroom, however if Richie did not have a successful trip a star was not placed (hence why there are no stars on Thursday or Sunday). Richie is just a person who was used to collect data from. The different colors of the stars do not matter and the stars next to the title could have been placed there to encourage Richie to start using the Potty Chart over a certain time span.
I missed class on friday, what did I miss?
ReplyDeleteWe had to observe Richie's Potty Chart. First we had to gather Observations, Form Questions, and Conclude it with a Hypothesis.

Why did Mr crane want us to observe a potty chart?
Occam's razor: when you complete a hypothesis, the one with the least assumptions should be chosen.
Hypothesis: Richies Potty chart is a chart to organize the days of the week and unknown information about what happens on each day that's kept track with stars.
my hypothesis is that the chart is used to keep track of how many times Richie goes to the bathroom on each day of the week

Are stars good or bad?
Hypothesis: Richie's potty chart organizes something Richie does throughout the week most likely when and how often he goes to the bathroom.
Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation usually is correct
(Observations:)
ReplyDelete-organized chart
-can record data
-multicolored stars
-Made of paper
-Stars seem to be decreasing throughout the week
-days of the week is showed
-23 stars all together
-days with the most stars=Monday
-days with the least amount of stars = Thursday and Saturday
-days with equal amount of stars= Tuesday and Friday (which are none)
(Questions)
Who is Richie?
Why have a "Potty Chart?"
What do the multicolored stars represent, if they represent something.
Why are there stars next to the title?
Why do some days not contain any stars?
What does a successful bathroom trip mean? If it means he is going to the bathroom.
Would he go #1 or #2 for it to be successful?
Does "Potty Chart" mean anything else?
By viewing this chart I had made a few observations and asked multiple questions on what I have viewed about the "Potty Chart"
Hypothesis:
I have observed the chart and came up with an opinion. I think the stars represent a successful bathroom trip yet I'm not yet sure if it would be successful if he went #1 or #2. I don't know who Richie is. Also, I don't know why he has a potty chart. Maybe it's a kid or someone's favorite name or athlete for all we know. I also think that different stars may indicate that he went both #1 and #2 but I'm not certain and 'm guessing he didn't go successfully during that time frame if there are no stars. Also I'm guessing the stars are for decoration if they're next to the title and last but not least I've observed that the stars are decreasing throughout the days of the week. Maybe he started off good and got worse.

Who is Richie?
What is a potty chart?
Why does Monday have so many stars?
Why do Thursday and Saturday have no stars?
Why are the stars colored?
What do the stars mean?
Hypothesis:
Based on my observations, Richie is a small child who is not potty trained. His parent(s) have created a chart to reward him for going to the bathroom; ex. stars
Observations:
ReplyDelete-different colored stars
-days of the week are numbered
-stars next to the title
-titled "Richie's Potty Chart"
-chart
-Monday has the most stars
-Thursday and Saturday have no stars
-23 stars total
-the number of stars on wednesday and friday are equal
Questions:
Who's Richie?
Why is he being charted for going to the Bathroom?
What do the stars represent? What are they for?
Why are there no stars on thursday and saturday?
Is it only for one week, or does it continue in a loop?
Hypothesis:
-Richie is a toddler (the word potty is used)
-He is being potty-trained
-The stars represent a trip with success to the bathroom: the different colors could represent either how well his "potty performance" was if he went 1 or 2.
-On thursday and saturday, richie probably didn't use the bathroom correctly, therefore receiving no stars.
- Jeff Toth
- oh and the stars next to the title are probably for a bit of decorative flare
ReplyDelete(I forgot to add that)
- Jeff Toth
observations:
ReplyDeleteon Monday, teusday, wednesday, friday, and Saturday Richie got stars.
the chart is most likely for potty training
stars=motivation
chart is for organizing progress
starts at the top might be for every four stars he gets a prize which is recorded at the top
tuesday and friday both have three stars with the same color
Thursday and Sunday he got no stars
Questions:
What happens when Richie gets a certain number of stars?
What happens if he receives no stars?
Do the colors of the stars mean anything?
Hypothesis:
The chart is used to record eat time Riche successfully uses the bathroom. When he does he is given a star to motivate him in becoming potty trained.
Fundamental Questions:
ReplyDeleteWho is Richie?
What is this chart for?
Why star stickers?
Are they color coded?
What does the number of stars mean?
What do their locations mean?
Observations:
There is a slot for every day of the week
Min:0 Max:6
no apparent patterns
1=1
1 does not = 2
multicolored stars stickers in slots with the exception of Thursday and Saturday
uses the word "Potty". That's a child's word.
Is titled "Richie's Potty Chart"
There are four stars at the top next to the title.
Hypothesis:
This chart is for monitoring Richie's bathroom habits. Each star represents an instance where Richie used the "potty". The colors of the stars are arbitrary. The stars' shapes themselves are arbitrary. Richie is a person who is or is connected to a person who feels it necessary to track his bowel movements.
Observations:
ReplyDeleteThe chart has seven rows
They represent the days of the weak
Colorful star stickers are in some of the rows
They indicate how many times Richy mad it to the bathroom
Its during potty training
What do the different colors mean?
Why is there no stars on Thursday and Saturday?
Hypothesis:
If the chart is representing the days of the week that Richy makes it to the bathroom, then the stickers represent the amount of times he made it each day and the colors are how good he did each time.
Q's:
ReplyDeleteWho is Richie?
Do different color stars mean different things?
Is it possible to not go to the bathroom everyday?
Is this chart a span of one week or more?
Max: 6 stars
Min: 0 stars
Tues. and Fri. both have 3 stars and Thurs. and Sat. both have none.
Hypothesis:
Each time Richie successfully goes "potty" he receives a star on that day, having nothing to do with the color of the star considering there is not pattern within the color placement. If he's not successful, he doesn't receive a star for that day.
what do the different color stars mean?
ReplyDeletewhy were star stickers used?
who is Richie?
why do some days not have any stars?
the different colored stars could have something to do with how he went to the bathroom.
monday has the most stars this could be because Richie was very excited to start this chart on monday but then throughout the week he started to go less and less.
There is a slot for every day of the week making it a chart.
Observations:
ReplyDeleteChart organized by day of the week
Separate section for every day
Colored star stickers on the chart
4 different colors
23 stars
Most stars on Monday (6)
Least on Thursday and Saturday (0)
No visibly significant pattern between what color stars on what day and how many stars there are
Questions:
What does a star mean?
What is the chart for?
Are the colors significant?
Hypothesis:
If Richie goes to the bathroom successfully, then he would get a star on the potty chart on whatever day it is. The color of the star does not have anything to do with the actual chart aside from decoration, and there is no pattern of how many star are on each day.
Observations:

Does anyone know what the pattern part is for the coffee chart thing? Because I am confused
ReplyDeleteI said that there wasn't a pattern because the numbers increase and decease at different rates.
DeleteMy hypothesis for the Baseball Dice worksheet is that rolling pairs cause home runs because that was in the similar category for roll 4 and 5 and they had a different amount of home runs.
