This page contains any downloads that are necessary to do class assignments. Most of these can be found in other areas of our wiki, but I have moved them here so they are easier to find while our current work requires their use.

Here is the the study guide needed to prepare for your last assessment:




 * GOOD ADVICE FOR WRITING A LAB REPORT**
 * 1) Do not forget to save your old lab report and submit with your edited version so your changes are obvious and easy to spot when regrading.
 * 2) Make sure your essential question is a **//"how///****//why"//** question that requires more than a simple **//"yes/no"//** answer.
 * 3) The word //**"affect"**// is a verb. The word **//"effect"//** is a noun. Use them correctly in your essential question.
 * 4) Make sure you give a reason why you feel your hypothesis is correct. Make sure you understand the reason and it is based on a scientific reason.
 * 5) Your independent variable is the variable that you change or manipulate.
 * 6) Your dependent variable is the variable that you measure.
 * 7) When writing your procedures, make sure you discuss all items in your materials list and how to use them.
 * 8) Use commands when stating your step by step instructions. Do not begin sentences with **//"first/second/next"//** if they are numbered.
 * 9) Never use the words //**"prove/correct/wrong"**// in your conclusion. Instead, use **//"support/plausible/refute."//**
 * 10) Great words to inspire your conclusion are: //**"consider, trend, pattern, indicate, generally, consensus, average, apply, speculate,and many more higher order thinking words."**//
 * 11) Always have a friend read your paper and do peer editing for you before you hand in your paper.
 * 12) Find the rubric that applies to the report and grade it yourself before handing it in.
