Between Friday April 24th and Monday May 4th, you will have access to three full-length practice exams. The exams titled "Practice Exams 1-3" are timed. You should not open one of the practice exams unless you have 90 minutes to complete the section. If you want to complete one in class, I would bring noise-cancelling headphones so you can focus. 

These exams are not mandatory. The incentives for completing the full-length exams are:
You can experience the stamina demanded by the full exam.
It is a good review opportunity.
You can earn 1 assessment point back for every MCQ practice exam that you earn a 60% or higher on.
You can earn 1 assessment point back for every FRQ practice exam that you earn a 50% or higher on. However, to earn the FRQ points, you need to handwrite your initial answers. Then, you must correct your work in a different colored pen and submit the hard-copies to me.
You also will have access to one exam titled "Supplemental Practice Exam." This exam is untimed and not for credit. You can use this exam as a resource for discussing sample questions with your group.

BEFORE beginning your investigation, discuss and outline your modifications to the procedure. You can write the final procedure as you perform the lab or afterwards.

1) Designate one group member to submit the document. Share one procedure document with every lab member. 

2) Use quotations from the CollegeBoard manual for procedural steps that stayed the same. 

3) Add your unique procedural steps using the same format of directing the reader on your methods.

3) Add the names of all authors to the end of the document.

Before beginning your investigation, create a data table. You need to decide what type of data you are going to collect and the most appropriate way to input that into a GoogleSheet.

1) Create a table for the measurement you decide. 
Are you collecting data over time? How much time? What intervals?
Are you collecting data at a single point in time? How far into the reaction? 
2) Share the table with all lab members. Add your class period and all group members' names to Column A.

3) Designate ONE group member to submit data table by the end of class.

READ ALL  I was not planning to give you this lesson yet, but I am unexpectedly sick and the sub cannot give you the lecture/facilitate the lab. This lesson is meant to introduce to you the significance of "error bars." You may have noticed them on some graphs on the introductory MCQ questions.

PLEASE CHECK that your Chromebook can download a fillable PDF with your changes before you get far into the packet. You will not need to open the PDF on your Chromebook, but you will need to check you could upload it back into your GoogleDrive and that when you open it, your edits remain. On a personal device, you can save a fillable with your changes but I was not planning this lesson yet so I did not check on this possibility with Chromebooks. If it does not work, you can either annotate the packet with Kami or record your responses in a GoogleDoc.

Complete the attached packet using the click and learn INDIVIDUALLY. You are welcome to work with peers at the tables to support each other. However, you each will have your own numbers and your own math.

The program uses a random number generator-it will be obvious if you copy from a peer because you each should have your own unique data set. NO CREDIT will be given for duplicated packets.

SKIP #11-13.

I will give you 30 more minutes next class to finish this with my support.

Use this template to organize your data. This is sample data. Complete your calculations for your actual data.

Title that includes the independent and dependent variables
Labeled axes
