1. Do Now  Please write HW in your agenda.  Please update your table of contents.  Please take the sheets from the front cart and tape/glue them on to  Page 37 -> Guided notes  Page 38 -> Interpreting Graphs Page #TitleDate 37-38Analysis and Conclusion10/21/14 39Mini expo10/24/14 40Reflection10/21/14

2. Homework  Each member of your group must write or type 5 reflective statements about your experiment.  This may include:  What problems did the group fail to anticipate?  What sources of error or inconsistency might have made your results less accurate?  Did anything interesting that you didn’t expect (good or bad)?  If you could redo your experiment what would you differently?

3. Lab Report  Please look over the template for the final Lab Report.  This is how your Google Doc should look by Tuesday (10/22) at the start of class.  Please make the report all the same color, size, and font so it is easy to read.

4.  This is where you are making observations about your data.  What facts can you draw from your results? Analysis

5. Don’t forget… Analysis = Observations about your data! Conclusion = Inferences about those observations!

6. What is a conclusion?  The conclusion is the answer to your question/problem.  It should be clear, concise, and should stick to the point.  Overall, you want your conclusion to answer the following questions…

7. Writing a Conclusion  What was your hypothesis? Restate it.  Did the results support your hypothesis? Indicate the observations you made that brought you to that conclusion.  If you were to repeat the experiment, what would you do differently to receive more accurate data?  What further experiments can be done related to this question/problem?

8. Things to Remember  You can either reject the hypothesis, or you can NOT reject the hypothesis – you cannot PROVE the hypothesis!  An experiment is NOT a failure if the results don’t support your hypothesis.

9. Analysis and Conclusion

10. Stations  You will have 2-3 minutes at each station to answer the analysis and conclusion questions related to the graph at the station.  Remember that analysis is more like an observation and conclusion is more like an inference.
