  21. Biology 9/14/11 • Entry Task – Wednesday • Please REWRITE to help make this impersonal and scientific: “So, Joey and I did this thing in science. First time, we got 5 as the highest. Second time, we got 7 as the highest. Third time, we got 8 as the highest.” (2 pts) • DISCUSS and write answer– Why does a BAR GRAPH make more sense than a line graph to communicate our data? (1 pt) • When finished, take out notebook and work on page 6 and 7.

  22. Biology 9/15/11 • Entry Task – Thursday • Please REWRITE to help make this impersonal and scientific: “In the activity, “Practice Makes Perfect” first our number went up from 11 to 12, and then down to 10.” (3 pts) • HINT – Use words like increase, decrease, average, students, etc. • When finished, reread your data analysis and conclusion. Is it scientific and impersonal?

  23. Completing “Practice Makes Perfect” • Data Analysis: Describe the data scientifically and impersonally! • Conclusion: ANSWER THE QUESTION: HOW DOES PRACTICE AFFECT ONE’S ABILITY TO PERFORM A TASK (use your data). • By practicing a task, the average reached ___________________(increased or decreased) and then ________________. This shows practice _________________ (improves, does not improve) performance.

  24. Further Investigative Questions? • On the bottom of page 6, write one more question you are curious about. • THIS FORMAT: • How does_________________________ affect____________________________?
