Ch. 15: Math and Sciences

100

This is one difference between math-based and text-based science courses

What are: a. Math-based—textbooks (chemistry and physics) contain formulas similar to mathematics texts, but they also contain important diagrams explaining scientific processes b.Text-based—(biology, agriculture, forestry, botany, astronomy, geology) There is little math involved; instead, you will be required to read, understand, and apply scientific processes discussed in the text. Often include a lab in which you experience hands-on application of scientific principles.

200

While reading his biology textbook, Kent makes sure he annotates these types of information. (name 2)

What are key terms, diagrams/figures, cause/effect, scientific arguments, compare/contrast, experiments and their results, scientific processes and events that occur, etc.?
