HOMEWORK
Next class we will have dimensional analysis practice quiz. If you complete the POGIL and watch the video/take notes, you should be ready. If you have questions...shoot me a message (hit me?) on the Remind App.
#004A: Answer 14, and 17-20 in the Conversions POGIL I handed out in class today. (Lost it? Here's the LINK)
Bring this into class - I'll check it before class starts
#004B: Watch conversions video (LINK) take notes (LINK) and answer the Edpuzzle questions. Post a pic of your answers and notes to GC.
Don't forget: magic in math is BAD, and numbers don't like to be naked. Please, let them wear clothes.

SEE BELOW FOR FRIDAY'S LESSON
1. How will your cookies be evaluated?
2. What will you do with your evaluations?
3. Will your cookies not suck?
Goals:
1. Groups will be able to use collected cookie data to analyze success of cookie design
2. Through creating their lab report, group members will become familiar with the format of a typical lab report
Cookie Testing
There are 7 groups in the class. Each student should sample a cookie from the other 6 groups and fill out a cookie analysis form. Those forms are given to the group who made the cookies so that they can be included in the group's data section.
Analysis
Teams will gather the analysis forms and make a data table that looks like this.
Enter the number of forms that answered too much sweetness in the box. Then enter the number of forms that answered balanced, etc. Each team will write three analysis statements based on the data in the table. Analysis statements should follow the format
Our data table shows _________________, so we conclude _____________________.
example: Our data table shows that 24 students thought the cookies were too salty, so we conclude that our salt calculation was low.
Lab Report Pieces
Abstract: Students will write out what type of cookie they wanted to create. How did you hope the public would react to your cookie? What kinds of things did you do during the experiment to make your cookie experiment successful?
Materials: What items are needed to perform this experiment? Include the converted version of your recipe here, complete with secret ingredient.
Procedure: These are the step by step instructions for carrying out the lab. The procedures should be so detailed that if another student read them he could conduct the lab from these instructions and get the same results.
Data: Any observations made during the lab should be recorded here. If the mixture turned a different color, or if bubbles were seen, or anything else, it should be written down. You should also summarize the feedback you received when other students sampled your cookies (you can do this with a chart or graph).
How did the public like them? Be specific. Also, this is the place to include pictures taken during your experiment.
Analysis: This is where you react to the feedback from the public. Did you make any mistakes during the conversion process? Did you make any mistakes following the recipe? Discuss how satisfied you are with your choice of secret ingredient. This section must include at least 3 analysis statements.
Conclusion: Your conclusion will be in the form of an advertising slogan. Write a slogan that accurately describes the strengths (if any) of your cookie in a creative and catchy way.
- Before the end of the period, take the pass to go get a piece of poster paper from the hallway next to the main office. They're out of basic colors - be excited to choose from interesting colors such as, "salmon", 'brown", and other favorites. Your paper should approximately be the size of one of the desks in this room.
