Minute to Win It Challenge: Drop in the Cup -
How to Play – Each player or a team of two players together is given 5 ping pong balls. When the timer starts players need to roll their ping pong balls and try to get all their balls to land in a cup in 1 minute.
If you roll all your ping pong balls and still have time on the clock players can pick up balls that fell on the ground and keep going.
The winner is whoever gets the most ping pong balls in the cups in 1 minute.

Minute to Win It Challenge: Marble Transfer - Players have one minute to transfer five small marbles from one cup to another using only a spoon held in their mouths (if it tips over you restart)
Team with the most wins!!!
This is the probability problem-solving technique often used by geneticists to work out possibilities of different genetic crosses.
What are punnet squares?
This is a group of individuals in the same species that can interbreed.
What is a population?
We studied this type of wave earlier this year and it cannot propagate without a medium, so it does not travel through space.
What are sound waves?

What are moons of Jupiter?
Minute to Win It Challenge: Ping Pong Drop - Place a plastic cup on the floor and a chair directly behind it. Players must stand on the chair and attempt to drop as many ping pong balls as possible directly into the cup without tipping it over in the span of a minute. Each time the cup tips the players must empty it and restart.
Team with the most when the timer ends wins!
