Upcoming Test. Question

How do I prepare for the test?
  • Make a list of things that. 
    • for example words/vocab 
    •  Group them together determine similarities and difference most importantly relationships. 
      • Why are these words important in our pursuit of science.
      •  Can you use the word properly in a sentence? 
      • Can you give examples to help illustrate the word or how the meaning of the word is different from other terms
  • Can you apply and descibe how the ideas.
    • Just giving an answer is worth only about 10% (if it is correct)
    • The process and clear communication of the process is worth 90% (even if it is in correct)
  • Practice:
    • Choose any to rolls from petals and analyze them (ignore all previous conclusions and observations about the rules)
      • be clear about similarities and difference ect.
      • what can you deduce/infer
      • make a statement about what can be determined from the observations.
