• I should use labels and answer what is being ask in the
question.
• I learned to always be specific to what quantities you use
so that your reader knows what units you are talking

Also, Subtraction is Final Value – Initial Value = Answer.

• 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.
