Pre-AP Chemistry Modern Chemistry (2006) Chapter 2 Notes-Measurements and Calculations 2.1 The Scientific Method The process that researchers use to carry out their investigations is often called the scientific method. The scientific method is a logical approach to solving problems by observing and collecting data, formulating hypotheses, testing hypotheses, and formulating theories that are supported by data. 2.2 Units of Measurement Units of Measurement Measurements are quantitative information. They represent quantities. A quantity is something that has magnitude, size, or amount. A quantity is not the same as a measurement. For example, the quantity represented by a teaspoon is volume. The teaspoon is a unit of measurement, while the volume is a quantity.

Chapter 7: Cell Structure & Function 7.1 Life is Cellular THINK ABOUT IT What?s the smallest part of any living thing that still counts as being ?alive?? Can we just keep dividing living things into smaller and smaller parts, or is there a point at which what?s left is no longer alive? As you will see, there is such a limit. The smallest living unit of any organism is the cell. 7.1 Student Objectives: I can state the cell theory and distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. I can describe how the different types of microscopes work. Bellringer 7.1 ? Cell Theory Cell Theory

Research Methods: Thinking Critically With Psychological Science The Need for Psychological Science Much of contemporary psychological science documents a vast intuitive mind. Intuition is important, but we often underestimate its perils. Two phenomena?hindsight bias and judgmental overconfidence?illustrate why we cannot rely solely on intuition and common sense. Did We Know It All Along? Hindsight Bias The term ?hindsight bias? refers to the tendency to believe, after learning and outcome, that one would have foreseen it. (Also known as the I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon.) Errors in out recollections and explanations show why we need psychological research. Common sense more easily describes what has happened than what will happen.

Javier Quinonez Professor Ribar English Composition August 29, 2013 The Basis of Your Identity Throughout the reading of finding ones identity the base of one?s true identity was questioned. The ways of an individual finding their identity was debated, and compared, with three methods, something a person is born with, influenced by culture, or expressed through the individual in the way they expose themselves to the world. Individuals cannot derive the basis of their identity from birth as it is impossible to cultivate ones identity without time and exposure. Without the tools of exposure and time individuals would not be able to differentiate themselves from each other and lose the ability to have their own true identities.
