Hi Mike P's link didn't lead to the CLT video for me. Here's a direct link to the video.

Take care Jim Jim Clark Professor & Chair of Psychology 204-786-9757 4L41A From: Mike Palij [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2014 8:26 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Michael Palij Subject: [tips] A Cute Way To Teach The Central Limit Theorem The website creaturecast.org is a biology oriented site that provides short videos on various biological topics. If you go to www.creaturecast.org<http://www.creaturecast.org> right now, you'll find that the second from the top entry is on the central limit theorem (y'all know the CLT, right?) but in the context of ecological examples involving rabbits and dragons. The NY Times has the videos on their website but there you have to sit through an annoying video ad before you get the goods (thus, risking damage to your computer when you feel like hurling something at the screen; I find rubber brick are a satisfying object to hurl both at the computer screen and the TV when particularly stupid/misleading/offensive commercials are shown). Here's an example from the NY Time website on how cilia can be used for locomotion: http://www.nytimes.com/video/science/100000002665100/creaturecast-swimming-with-cilia.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20140124 The ad before the video changes so you might a particularly annoying ad in which case make sure that you only have small books at arm's length. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
