First Test!

Today is our first test! It's only 20 multiple choice questions, so it's actually more like a quiz. I hope you all studied.
If you are absent today, you will need to come in during summit to make up this test the day you return.

I will begin class by giving you credit for completing the scientific method experimental design worksheet that we worked on in class yesterday. I will answer any questions you may have before the test.

Then we will take the test.

After the test you will pick up the biochemistry unit objectives and vocabulary.

Your assignment is to define the vocab words using your text book, dictionary, or internet. I recommend putting them on flash cards. This is a great study tool.
You will also need a separate sheet of paper to write out the objectives. What I mean by this is you will read through each objective and then write down what you already know about it. You may not know much at this point. That is OK. You will be able to write something for each objective by the end of the unit. Leave yourself space as you write out each of the objectives so you can add more information later.

The third part of your assignment is going to require some creativity. You must look in your book (chapter 2) for the 6 most common elements in all living things and then visually represent them in some way. Some students like to write out the element names in different colors, some draw a picture, some create a crossword type pattern. Ultimately, you want a sheet of paper that captures your attention and will help you remember those 6 elements.

Reminder: Learning logs are due tomorrow for extra credit.

Warm-Up:
Why is it ineffective to test more than one variable at the same time?

P.S.
I am feeding the snake tomorrow during summit. Hope to see you there!
