Whew!! That's a lot, but if you put forth the effort, you will do fine. So study, study!!! Email me if you need any help.
- lab safety - study your lab safety quiz and safety contract
- scientific method - know the steps of the scientific method and be able to identify the independent variable, dependent variable, control and constants in an experiment
- graphs - be able to take data from a data chart and make a graph, being sure to correctly label each axis, drawing a line of best fit and calculating the slope of that line. We did an example of this in class and you did homework for this, as well.
- lab tools - given a picture, you need to be able to name the lab tool and describe the uses. This will come from the sheets you filled in the other day.
- scientific notation - be able put a number into scientific notation and put a scientific notation back to the number
- metric system - you need to know the prefixes chart you were given. If I give you the prefix, you need to be able to tell me the notation and the number that goes with that prefix. You also need to be able to do conversions, for example... 1g = ?kg, etc.
- measurement - you need to know what tools we use to measure mass, volume, length and temperature. You also need to know the base unit of measurement for mass, volume, length and temperature. You need to know the definition of mass, volume, length, temperature and time. You need to know the difference between mass and weight.
Whew!! That's a lot, but if you put forth the effort, you will do fine. So study, study!!! Email me if you need any help.
Below you will find links to some material that will help you practice and study for our first test. Good luck!! I know some of these are very similar, but each one is a little bit different and pretty much all of this will be on the test!!
