Sinking ships, exploding trombones and all around chaos pretty well explains what the Mythbusters do. In class, we analyzed how closely they followed the Scientific Method. Our conclusion was that the Scientific Method is pretty flexible; sometimes you skip parts, and other times you have to repeat steps or even jumble it all around. If it were up to Adam and Jamie, they'd probably surround it with gunpowder to see what happened when a match fell on it.
If you missed today, come and get the worksheet from me. I am going to learn how to make assignments downloadable from my webpage soon. To watch a video, look here to see their TV schedule so you can catch it from home. That link also has mini-myths that might be acceptable for this assignment - as long as you can answer the questions, it will work.
Parent Advisory - On Mythbusters, there is an infrequent use of expletives or the occasional inappropriate myth. I previewed the one I showed in class. You might want to do the same.
