For the District Unit 1 Test, you will be asked questions about the scientific method and measurement. Never fear, it is primarily stuff we have already gone over in class.
The three types of variables--Controlled, Independent and Dependent
How to read a thermometer (sometimes each line is two units)
How to read a graduated cylinder to find the volume of a liquid in milliliters (remember, you must measure from the bottom of the meniscus!)
How to read and interpret a graph, data chart, and data table
How to make predictions from a graph, data chart, and data table
The difference between inference and observation
The safety symbol for flammable materials and sharp objects
How to measure volume using the displacement method (ending volume – starting volume)
How to calculate the volume of a regular shaped object (length x width x height)
How to calculate density (mass ÷ volume)
The last 2 q’s are graphing questions. It is almost like I knew what was coming!! (Aren’t you glad, we practiced this with our Lab and P.O.D.!!) No wonder my students get the highest scores in the district. You must label a pie chart. You must properly format a line graph.
Remember: 1. DRY MIX 2. Scale 3. Plot Data
