What should I bring to class?
The parts of the experiments that stay the same when measuring or observing the manipulated variable.
What is the controlled variable?
Energy and matter that flow in and out of a system.
What is input and output?
potential and kinetic.
What are the two main categories of energy?
assignments that score 69.9% or below.
Which assignments can be redone?
each Friday.
When is homework due?
The data measured or observed.
What is the responding variable?
Two or more parts that work together to do a job/function.
What is a system?
gravitational, elastic, chemical and nuclear.
What are some forms of potential energy?
clean up area including lab items and be quiet.
What do you have to do to be dismissed on time?
in my locker or in the holder on the white board.
Where does your phone belong while in class?
The variable changed by the scientist. One condition but two components. Example: temperature (hot/cold).
What is the manipulated variable?
An arbitrary line that scientists draw around an experiment.
What is a boundary?
electric, heat, light, and mechanical.
What are some forms of kinetic energy?
on the table by the front door.
Where do I put my clear water bottles?
Name, date, class period.
How do you head your paper?
answer the scientific question (make a scientific claim), give supporting data (high/low - evidence), and explanatory language (reasoning).
What are the attributes of a conclusion?
A smaller system within a larger system.
What is a subsystem?
Energy that moves from one place to another and energy that changes form.
What is energy transfer and transformation?
over my mouth and nose at all times.
What is the proper way to wear your mask?
Organize notebooks and review prior week's work.
What do we do every Monday?
Identify the controlled, manipulated and responding variable, measure and record, repeated trials and logical steps.
What are the attributes of a procedure?
Open systems are systems where matter flows in and out and a closed system does not have matter flowing in and out. Energy always flows in and out of any system.
What is the difference between open and closed systems?
matter or energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
What the Law of Conservation of Matter and/or Energy?
I use complete sentences by using the sentence or question in the answer, answer the question completely and use highlighting to complete the information. I always use capitals and punctuation.
How do I answer a question on an assignment?
