Fri-Day 2
AP Chem- continued our discussion/application of MO theory and also discussed some strategies involving logic and its application.
Bio 6- I will posted the UPDATED review book hw calendar this weekend.
I will post your first practice Regents along with MY separate posted answers. This way, you will have a model/template for taking all practice and future Bio Regents exams. First, take the exam and then check your answers with my key.
I want to give you lots of Regents practice before the June 2009 Bio/LE exam so that you can boost both your fourth quarter and course grade.
We will discuss a Regents review schedule next week.
For extra credit for your fourth quarter average, now that we have covered the course curriculum, you may schedule a practice Regents exam to be taken after school. There are several benefits from and responsibilities for taking these practice tests:
1. you will gain valuable test-taking experience on actual Regents Bio/LE exams.
2. your score on each exam CANNOT lower your average but, if you score higher than your current average, the exam will be factored in as a full test grade.
3. you MUST show proper test-taking skills on EVERY question on the test: keywords underlined/highlighted/circled, predicted answers, drawings/diagrams to accompany any explanations/descriptions. If you co not follow this criterion, you will not receive credit for the practice test. The purpose of this criterion is to guarantee that your test-taking ability will improve.
4. you may take another Regents exam AFTER you have reviewed with me any errors from the previous exam.
We discussed the "Making Connections" proper design of a scientific experiment lab.
Explained that a proper scientific investigation has large sample sizes and multiple trials in order to prevent anomalies from significantly influencing the data and to have the random errors from the multiple trials AVERAGE OUT to close to zero i.e. minimize the AVERAGE of the random errors, respectively.
Our NY State Lab unit exam will be given next Thursday.

We finished up the data collection on the Biodiversity Lab except for the pending chromatography chart, which will be shown/discussed on Monday.
