Learning goals:
Students will be able to understand and apply experimental probability by conducting hands-on experiments, collecting data, and analyzing the results to make predictions about future events.

Learning activities:
- Coin Toss Experiment: Conduct a series of coin tosses and record the outcomes (heads or tails). Calculate the experimental probability of getting heads or tails. Discuss how the experimental probability compares to the theoretical probability (50% for each outcome).
- Dice Rolling Experiment: Roll a six-sided die multiple times and record the outcomes. Calculate the experimental probability of rolling each number. Compare the experimental probabilities with the theoretical probabilities (1/6 for each number).
- Card Drawing Experiment: Use a standard deck of cards and draw cards randomly, recording the suits or numbers. Calculate the experimental probability of drawing certain suits or numbers. Discuss how the experimental results relate to the theoretical probabilities.
- Marble Experiment: Place different colored marbles in a bag and randomly draw marbles, recording the colors. Calculate the experimental probability of drawing each color. Discuss any variations in results and reasons behind them.
