Wednes-Day 1
AP Chemistry: we had our Unit 1 exam. Tomorrow, we begin our new unit on Atoms, Molecules, Ions (Chapter 2), the Periodic Table, and Atomic Theory (Chapter 7). Most of this material (Chapter 2) will be review/refresher material but will be discussed and tested at a higher/deeper level.
Bio 6/7- we discussed proper graphing technique, keeping in mind the number one RULE: each box must represent the SAME increment/quantity! The one possible exception to that rule occurs when the first box is used to go from zero to the some value that is near the first data value; since that quantity won't match subsequent incremental quantities, a "squiggly line" is necessary between the origin and the end of the first box.
We also went over the "Scientific Method" worksheet.
We then introduced the Microscope Lab; I will give you the formal lab handout for that, tomorrow.
HERE ARE THE ANSWERS to today's graphing problems so that you can check your work and answers. Here's the answer to the harder graphing problem that we started. If you made any mistakes that you do not understand, ask me about them tomorrow.
Also, here are the answers to the "Scientific Method" worksheet that we did in class.
Bio 8- we discussed proper graphing technique, keeping in mind the number one RULE: each box must represent the SAME increment/quantity! The one possible exception to that rule occurs when the first box is used to go from zero to the some value that is near the first data value; since that quantity won't match subsequent incremental quantities, a "squiggly line" is necessary between the origin and the end of the first box.
