Today

Last class, your group created a data table and understood possibilities of various tests. Today, your task is to analyze each sample to then apply your knowledge to finding the correct mixture.

Inquiry Update

On December 14, we will collect data for the last time this calendar year. On that day the following items are due in one report (Please slowly go through the rubric to make sure you capture all of the items! If you have questions, please ask):

1. Background Section - this section provides the scientific basis for your project while also grounding it on the AST campus. Your question should be in this section.
2. Hypothesis - In the background, you let the reader know the general idea of what you are investigating. Now, let us know your hypothesis.
3. Variable List

You will then collect data on December 14. By class on Tuesday, Dec 18 your data tables should be updated on both the wall outside of the classroom and your web page. Your report for the day of sampling should be updated on your web page.
