• I learned to always be specific to what quantities you use so that your reader knows what units you are talking about.

• You use the delta mark to show difference of values. Also, Subtraction is Final Value – Initial Value = Answer.

• You need to know what the terms being used in the question mean in order to accurately answer what is being asked.

How did I learn it?

• I learned to answer the question specifically, use labels, understand the question and how to accurately answer the question.

• This I learned by analyzing a paper in class.

• We analyzed the Pros and Cons of the answer.

• We realized that being specific is extremely important and using correct values and definitions plays a major role in answer questions in a science class.

• Showing us the parts done incorrectly, a standard for quality work was set.

• We were given explanation of what you should do and what you shouldn’t do when a question is asked through deep analysis of answers of our classmates.

How did I use it in class?

• I analyzed my paper that I did and made

sure I didn’t make any mistakes and

answer everything specifically and

accurately.

• I made sure all my units were correctly

labeled and I understood all the terms

mentioned in the question and overview.

How can I use this outside of the

science classroom?

• When I am talking to someone over the phone, I should be as descriptive as possible and make sure I am explaining what I am saying.

• I make sure what I say is easy to understand and is enough so everyone understands what I am trying to tell them.

• Also, to allow people to understand my ideas and feelings with greater detail.
