Tonight's HW=Metric worksheet, both sides
Unit 1 Study Guide--TEST FRIDAY! :-)
1. List the steps of the scientific method
2. Write a testable hypothesis that addresses a problem with an educated guess. Should be written as an If…then statement.
3. Pick out the dependent, independent variable and controls in a given experiment, and design an experiment that has these 3 things.
4. Understand how to behave properly in the lab and know basic rules of lab safety.
5. Be able to discuss what science is and is not, as well as common attitudes of scientists, and qualitative vs. quantitative data.
6. Point out all of the parts of our compound light microscopes and describe what each part’s function is.
7. Describe how to make a wet-mount slide and how to focus on an image under the microscope (microscope use guidelines).
8. Define the metric system and convert between different units of the metric system.
9. Comfortably use a graph to get information or make a graph using given information.
