Title	Exploring Data to Make Predictions
Description	This lesson is primarily a data science lesson in which students launch projectiles from six different launchers to gain insight into the patterns of landing positions. Students use informal inference to make predictions about where the "next" projectile will land. The lesson ends with a students choosing a launcher to win a tournament-style competition based on the observed centers and variability of each launcher.
