Hi all, For the last several semesters, I've been doing a "psychic" demonstration (reading through sealed envelopes -- Another one of those handy TIPS suggestions!) to get students into hypothesis testing, which is then followed by discussion of independent and dependent variables. I love doing this for a number of reasons, but I also panic in advance about not being able to get a confederate or being spotted talking with a confederate. Since this happens so early in the semester, it's tough to know which students are in which of my classes! I'm interested in doing something different this semester. I'd like it to be something that still gets the students involved in creating hypotheses, then generating ideas on how to test those hypotheses, which then allows for discussion of IVs and DVs, and, ideally, allows for discussion of random assignment.. Any suggestions? Thanks!
