1 1. What does abiotic mean? Give an example of an abiotic factor in the classroom. 2. What does biotic mean? Give an example of an biotic factor in the classroom.

2 1. Where in a conclusion do you state whether the hypothesis was supported or not? 2. What do you do in the commentary of a conclusion?

3 Logistics Unit 2 Quiz on 10/6 Use the Unit 2 Divider as a study guide Scientific Method: Observation -> Curiosity -> Question -> Hypothesis -> Experiment ->Analysis -> Conclusions Qualitative and Quantitative observations Experimental Design: Validity, reliability, accuracy, precision Know the three kinds of variables, what a control group and trials are, the elements of a good experiment Know the different kinds of graphs and what data they are used for How to write a conclusion (the 4 parts and what they include) The Characteristics of Life Know the 7 characteristics of life Know how a living thing must be able to do them (Hint: Independently or Cooperatively)

CD: After running, the average reaction time was 0.2 seconds. CD: The difference was 0.6 seconds. CM: After running reaction time decreased or improved. CS: Running improved reaction time because it increased heart rate, releasing adrenaline, and increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the brain.
