Hey Folks,
I'll be out for the first part of the mod....
If you need to take your test Mme. Loiseau will get it for you and get you set up in the science office, you know who you are, yes you have to take it today!
If you took your test on friday, you should get together with your partner for the sensory lab and start developing your procedure for testing whatever it is you're going to test.
NO EXPERIMENTING UNTIL I'VE SEEN AND APPROVED YOUR PROCEDURE...
Make it's written clearly enough that someone unassociated with your group could run the experiment.
Make sure you've defined the QUANTITATIVE data you'll collect, how you'll collect it, and why you are choosing that data.
Make sure you have a defined If/Then hypothesis with a scientifically based "because".
If you took your test on friday and your partner for Sensory 2 is taking thier test today you should look at the nervous system learning sequence and work on something from that.
I should be back before the halfway mark into the class if you have questions.
See you soon!

Lab notebook - You'll need this for our experiment this week, yes, you'll actually need this.....
Must be a bound book.
Name and contact information on the front cover
Use black or blue INK
Date all entries
Reserve 3 pages for a table of contents (at the beginning if this is the only class this is for, make a new table of contents after other class' material, but put an entry in that class' table of contents indicating the presence of the new class)
All non-table of contents pages should be numbered
Cross out mistakes with a single line through the entry, then initial.
Draw a diagonal line through unused portions of a page
Do not skip pages
The start of each experiment should begin on a new page, but ALL information should be entered chronologically
All data should be entered directly into the notebook (we'll tape in electronically collected data)
Entries should be neat orderly, and complete.
Your Lab Notebook Must Include Record of Every Activity That You Manipulate Variables or Record Data For....NOT JUST "LABS"!!
