This is the best week! Hopefully packages have started to arrive at your school. If you haven't already done so, please visit the "How to" guide at http://www.gatesscience.info/teamescience/howto.htm and scroll down to "Receiving Packages." At the very bottom is a link to an Excel spreadsheet you can use for scoring. Send me only the school's scores when you think you have all of the packages. Remebr, I'm dealing with 132 individuals. DO send the scores to your partner school as you record them. These people are anxiously waiting for their results.
Enjoy this week and the next. Send me any images or anecdotes that you want, and I'll post them to your page.
Enjoy,
Charlie

We just scored our packages today, but there was one chip we couldn't figure out. The chip was perfectly whole, but somehow it had picked up moisture and become deformed. It also had mold growing on it. So even though it was all in one piece, it ws not like it just left the factory. PLEASE HELP with the intactness score!
Yuck!!! And you have no idea where the moisture came from? Hmmm. There is no category "Whole but deformed." The chip also must be in edible condition when it arrives. I'd disqualify it. Something obviously went very wrong. Moisture leaked in from the packaging, or something they did to it before it was packaged.

So then does the chip being inedible give it an intactness score of zero?
No idea where the moisture came from, the foam peanuts and outer packaging were dry! We didn't even think it was a Pringle at first, it looked like a kettle cooked chip.
Calculate the volume and the mass, and give the intactness a "?" Then in your comments say somethign like "Chip disqualified becuase it was altered by some type of moisture."
