After you run the KiC-1 exercise, which introduces the scientific4-step “Improvement Kata” pattern, you can apply that pattern to nearly any content and activity. This way that content or activityalso becomes practice in meta-cognitive skills.
This follow-on KiC-2 exercise helps preparestudents to apply the IK pattern inprojects that involve data.

THIS SLIDE IS NOT PART OF THE EXERCISEwww.katatogrow.com
The KiC-2 (catapult) exercise buildson the KiC-1 (puzzle) exerciseThe KiC-1 exercise took the following two non-scientific shortcuts, whichyou can now use as teaching opportunities in the KiC-2 exercise:
• Students changed more than one variable at a time.• Students collected only 1 data point before designing the next experiment.
The KiC-2 exercise has these 4 main lessons:1) Learning to experiment more scientifically by changing only one factor at a
time.
2) Learning to experiment more scientifically by collecting multiple data points, in order to better understand cause and effect.
3) Practice creating and using run charts, as a useful tool for collecting, visualizing, understanding, and communicating information. Run charts with a target condition line drawn on them are highly useful for supporting improvement, adaptiveness and innovation.
4) That collecting data can take some time, which may not feel as fast and exciting as the puzzle exercise.

INSTRUCTIONSAs with the Kata in the Classroom 1 puzzle exercise, KiC-2 is a ~50-minute hands-on exercise.
Once you run the KiC-2 exercise consider where else your students might practice creating and using run charts. Follow-on practice on something real is important.
ROOM SETUP• Unlike the KiC-1 exercise, the KiC-2 exercise is done as a group exercise using one
catapult. The entire class works together.• Create an open area where the catapult can shoot up to ~ 17 feet (see illustration
on the next page). The students stand around this area as a group.• A poster-size storyboard and run-chart form should be posted in this area so the
instructor can fill them out during the exercise.

MATERIALS FOR THE KiC-2 EXERCISE
• One X-Pult catapult. Check that at a 45° launch angle and 80° pull-back angle a ping-pong ball travels 14 feet or more. If not, use a better rubber band.
• Three ball types: Ping-pong, wiffle golf ball, foam golf ball. à
• Tape measure to lay along the floor to measure distance of catapult shots. Must be at least 17 feet long.
• Rectangular container as the target (e.g., Ziploc or Tupperware)with an open top of approximately 6” x 9” à
• One blank, letter-size run-chart form for each participant.• One reflection card for each participant (same reflection card used in the KiC-1 exercise).• One storyboard and run-chart form printed in poster size and posted on the wall.
USE THIS POWERPOINT FILEYou can conduct the KiC exercise directly from this PowerPoint file, which walksyou through the exercise step-by-step. In 'Presenter Mode' the file includes teacher prompts, so you can read key steps and points to make directly from screen.

THIS SLIDE IS NOT PART OF THE EXERCISE
1 What did you learn about experimenting scientifically? Key points are:• Changing only one factor at a time helps you learn about cause and effect in the process you
are studying. Over time you deepen your knowledge and understanding of the focus process.• Collecting several data points before making decisions and planning the next step makes you
more confident about what is really happening. Just collecting one or two data points and then making decisions means you may be making decisions on incorrect information.
• Good science can take some time. Changing only one variable at a time and getting multiple data points gives you a more accurate understanding of the situation. It takes a little more time than just charging ahead like in the KiC-1 puzzle exercise. It may not feel quite as fast and exciting as the puzzle exercise, but your understanding is deeper.
2 What does a run chart show? Key points are:Point to the ‘What Happened’ column of the group scoreboard and then to the corresponding run chart. Both show the same data, but in vastly different ways. Notice how the run chart allows us to better visualize, understand, and communicate information. The numbers in the “What Happened” column are like words, whereas a run chart tells a story. Data is visual & easier to understand, perceptions are taken out, easier to communicate.
3 What happens when you add the “target condition” line to a run chart? Key points are:The TC line indicates where you want to go next. Adding the TC line changes the run chart from a depiction of data into a story about striving for something through experiments.
4 Other applications for run charts? Examples are:You can make a run chart for just about any process. Time it takes to get to school, time spent on homework or practice, etc., etc.
