In which John Green teaches you about railroads, and some of the ways they changed the world, and how they were a sort of microcosm for the Industrial Revolution as a whole. Prior to the invention of steam powered railroads, pretty much all locomotion had been muscle-powered. You either walked where you wanted to go, or rode on an animal to get where you were going. The railroad changed human perception of time and space, making long distance travel much faster and easier. Railroads also changed habits, including increasing reading. People needed some sort of distraction to ensure they didn't have to talk to other people on the train. Like any new technology, railroads also scared people. All kinds of fears surrounded rail travel, but over time, people got over them. And the quality of boiler manufacturing improved, so the trains exploded less often, which also made people feel safer.

On November 25th, the Grade 1-2’s invited their parents in to participate in a simulated tour through the rainforest, which was set up in our classroom. The kids created models of all the animals we studied in our unit, and helped me create a rainforest canopy, and river in our room. We strategically placed the animals, turned off the lights (rainforests are dark), and played a rainforest soundtrack to help with the simulation. The kids carried flashlights while touring their parents around the room. Afterwards, they were asked to sit down with their parents and go through a “King of the Rainforest” Questionnaire (which was really a study guide).

There are a lot of events in life that we just can’t predict, but just because something is random doesn’t mean we don’t know or can’t learn anything about it. Today, we’re going to talk about how we can extract information from seemingly random events starting with the expected value or mean of a distribution and walking through the first four “moments” - the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis.
