Applied Science, Monday, Period 1
"Welcome back," Tyler greeted his class, once they were all in their seats. Each lab table held a box about the size of a shoebox. "Today we're talking about the thought experiment called Schrodinger's Cat as an introduction to quantum mechanics. You have a handout on it and, since I'm apparently too lazy to read Wikipedia out loud today, we're also going to watch a short video on the whole shebang."
Once the video played, he briefly went over the meaning of the whole thing, pausing at the end for questions.
"Your mission now," he said, when he was done, "is to replicate the experiment. Some of those boxes have Beanie Baby cats in them; some don't. Pick one and try to decide if you have a cat or not, without touching the box."
