This Week… Can’t help but think of home A place where Chemistry swirled, and I was never alone Parents who always questioned Dinner talks - always a lesson To my mother, everything made sense To be able to break life down into its simplest elements The tiniest part of existence So carefully found and compared yet seemingly so far from our lens

Sorting observations Qualitative: May be more generalized or subjective/ opinion-based, focused on quality Quantitative: Using numbers/ recordings, can be measured easily Which is better? How else can we sort data? 3 ways in your own experiment What criteria would you use to assess the differences between items in your experiment based upon their reactions/responses to the given tests? Start to make your charts

Life Depends on Chemistry Chemistry: The study of composition, structure, properties, and change in matter. Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space Write out in detail your observations of the outside 5 senses! How do you think they are related to chemistry?

Sorting Observations Sort the class in as many ways as you can We need to organize our data to/because: _______________________________________________ Sort the class in as many ways as you can Ie: Age, Gender, Shirt Color, Height, etc.
