Finley Period 7: October 22nd P7 -JP

Period 7...By JP...10/22/10

First, we were talking about our lab reports which should have a hypothesis, conclusion, data, and your procedure. "For your procedure you must number your steps in order," mr. finley had stated. Just important reminders for your lab report. Second, Mr. finley talked about the observatioonal experimant that led to your hypothesis. You should probably include your observational experiment in your backround section. Your backround should be the first part of lab report. It sets up or makes a backround for your experiment. More specifically it is everything that leads to your experiment.(Important statements Mr. Finley made). Next we learned about our graghs. Basically Mr.Finley made sure we knew how to make a gragh.

Things to make a line gragh
1-Equal spaces between each axis lable.
2-Independent variable should be on the x axis.
3-Equal intervals between each axis lable.
4-Do not have to start at zero.
5-Scale should be an easy number to work with.
6-Lable each axis.
-Lable x axis with your independent variable.
-Lable your y axis gragh with your dependent variable.
7-Lables have to include units of measure.
8-Need a title
9-And ofcoarse put your data on your gragh.
10-Connect the points and/or draw the trend line.
11-Then try to find patterns or relationships between your independent variable and your dependent variable. This part is very important for understanding your gragh.
12-Your trend line does not have to be straight. Your trend line should touch some points and not touch others. A trend line is basically a genral line of the data on your gragh.

Next we worked on our graghs for our bacteria. If you missed class I can only say that everybody's bacteria grew. We did our usuall everyday basis of taking measurements, and adding to our graghs and coming up with more patterns.
