Tuesday: Same things, new rule

The bins are full. Rocket cheers.

Then Raven pours them out again.

"Hey!" Rocket says. "We just sorted those!"

"What do you notice if we use a new rule?" Raven asks.

Nova blinks. "Hint: try bendy and stiff this time."

The groups look totally different.

Many ways to sort

The same objects can be sorted in many ways.

Change the rule, and the groups change too.

A sock is soft. A sock is also flexible.

A rubber band is flexible, but it is also smooth.
