Fri-Day 2
Bio 3/6- we discussed the part of the scientific method involving proper experimental design: the importance of controlled variables except for the independent variable, the necessity of a control/comparison group, the requirements of large sample size, repeated trials, random selection of members of each group, etc.
We discussed the proper way to think about measuring, collecting, and organizing data that will support or contradict the hypothesis/prediction.
We briefly discussed the final part of the sci. method involving submission of the experimental findings for peer review.
AP Chem- had our first exam of the year. This first exam will give you an idea of the strength of your chemistry background coming into this course. You are encouraged to review your test at extra help and/or by appointment.
