First off, enjoy your snow day! I'm about to head out for a little snow adventure with my dog and I'm pumped!
After you have some fun outside, it might be a good idea to have a productive day (and Saturday) so you can enjoy Super Bowl Sunday and have a ton of homework Monday night...because we lost today's class, we will have to finish chapter 13 (experiments and observational studies) in 3.5 days! This means you will have an extended set of "reading questions" for homework Monday night. You will be responsible for teaching yourself much of the vocabulary by reading your textbook (and using any other resources you like). You may have an open-note quiz to start class on Tuesday (based on these reading questions). We will use our 3.5ish (minus quiz time) days in class to address any questions you have, and to review some of the "trickier" concepts with experimental design. Experimental design will absolutely be on your Feb. break take home exam, and we will have our (methods of data collection) unit vocabulary test the Thursday after we return from break.
Anyway, back to the more immediate future....
You have two homework responsibilities this weekend (one due Monday, one Tuesday):
2.) Complete the "ch. 13 reading questions" below for Tuesday. I'd strongly recommend getting a head start--get at least half of it done, so you don't have to do it all Monday! You may have an open-note quiz to start class on Tuesday (based on these reading questions). Remember, you are trying to teach yourself this content. Your responses to these questions serve as your primary notes for the chapter (I would answer them in your notebook with the rest of your notes!). The more effort/time you put into reading/responding to the questions, the better you'll understand experimental design for your test and the AP exam! So don't just look for the answers to these questions, read the whole chapter! Oh, and if you have these reading questions entirely done for Monday, you'll get a few points added to (your score on) that free response problem we completed in groups. And 3 stamps (extra credit!)
