Testing experimental procedures: We tried a couple of dry runs to work out the kinks in our experimental procedures.
A local cemetery, Fairhaven, served as our test spot.
To sort out our experimental procedures we played the peanut butter and jelly sandwich game.
Ever play the peanut butter and jelly sandwich game?
A basic communication exercise….provide Person A with a loaf of bread, a jar of jelly, a jar of peanut butter and a butter knife. Ask Person A to write a set of directions to make a peanut and butter jelly sandwich for Person B.
Person B has to follow the directions to the letter. If the instructions don’t say you can open the jar of jelly, then Person B cannot. If the instructions don’
t say pick up the butter knife, then Person B cannot. It is a hilarious exercise in clear communication. Try it some time.
As you can see by the photo, when we followed the draft instructions to the letter, we ran into a few problems.
The revised procedures will come soon!
