Rules
Players:Goal: As a group, keep as many balls in the air as possibleRules:1. You can only throw to your designated catcher
(throwing order is fixed)2. I can throw to anyone who doesn’t have a ball3. As I see you successfully keeping more balls in the air, I will throw more and

Observers:1. Identify which key variables / behaviours to observe2. Decide among yourself who will keep track of what
