I think when teaching statistics, the first place to start is with a set of experiments you are going to run. Literal physical experiments. For example you could drop little paper helicopters with a paperclip and measure their flight time. You could drop balls of crumpled paper and measure their drop time. You could roll balls down ramps and measure the rolling time. You could measure the time to drain a funnel with different types of cooking oil, at different temperatures.
