Objective: To recreate the masterminds sample set, #s1-5, using trial and error, to figure out the correct ratios of
liquid volume for the spectral colors necessary to make each 20 mL sample.
Notes:
Document your groups trials T1-T5, and final samples, #s 1-5, below, by typing in the amounts [in mL] for each
spectral color used to make the sample, and inserting a PB image for the final color outcome.
T1 15 Red 5 Blue
T3 13 Green 7 Yellow
T5 18 Yellow 2 Green
II. Analyze Results
1. Identify your groups final results for each sample, #s 1-5 below, by filling in each color [in bold] after the correct
ratio listed for that color needed to make the sample. *TBP = colors to be provided
Sample # of Ratio of Colors Groups Results Ratio of Colors Actual Value [*TBP]
# Colors Total = 20 mL Total = 20 mL
2. What was your groups overall initial emotional reaction to this challenge?
Overall, we thought that the task was difficult, a little bit confusing, and hard to understand. DP
3. How did your group choose to begin, as in, what was the groups initial step?
Our first initial step was to read the directions and get the materials as fast as possible. ZR
4. Based on the Ratios of Colors Actual Value provided by the teacher, how did your group measure up in terms of
accuracy? Support your response comparing your results with the results the teacher provided.
For the first one we got one of the colors right. The second, we didn't get any of them right. The third
one we got one right. The fourth one we got it all right. And the last one we got one color right. ZR.
5. Based on your groups experience collecting the data, identify which sample[s] was the easiest for your group to
figure out and explain why.
Based on our groups experience collecting the data, the easiest thing for my group to figure out is
finding the amount and the type of color in sample #4 because it was easy to tell when mixing the
colors. When we mixed purple and blue, you get a violet like color. When you mix that with red, you get
a dark mixture. AP
6. Based on your groups experience collecting the data, identify which sample[s] was the most difficult for your
group to figure out and explain why.
Based on our groups experience collecting the data, the difficult thing for my group to figure out is
seeing if the color ratios are correct or not because if they are wrong, the end results might make a big
difference. AP
