Put 100 Marbles in a Bucket

Critical At Any Age
Topics: Probability, Science project

The coin flip is a basic example of probability that most people are familiar with. Heads or tails. Fifty-fifty. Even Steven. If you flip a fair coin many-many times, half the flips will come up heads.


What Practice Makes

View Planet Nancy
Topics: Health, Practice

If you do a daily mind-clearing activity, you have a practice. A yoga practice. A singing practice, a dance practice, a walking, drawing, meditation or jump-rope practice.

Talk on the Wild Side

Recommended Reading
Topics: Grammar, Language

Lane Greene invites readers to think of all the ways that language is wild, as opposed to something that can be tamed or domesticated.

One Page

Write For You
Topics: Freewriting, Practice

I am on the page-a-day plan. One page. Written with a fat pen. There’s no room to get carried away. It doesn’t take very long to sit down and do it.

Just Jars

Writing Prompts
Topics: Imagination, Observation, Self

Jars of affection. Jars of time. Jars of forgotten events. What would you like to put in a jar to preserve until a later date?
