Today you will be completing your Science Sample Work assessment and studying for your unit test which you will take tomorrow.

For your Sample Work assignment you will write a reflection about your learning this unit. Your reflections should be 3-5 sentences long and you need to use the sentence starts given on page 1 of this lesson.

Sentence starters:

I feel confident about creating classification models because…
It is challenging to interpret molecular data because…
One way to explain a scientific name is by…
In order to remember definitions of vocabulary words in this unit, one strategy I used was…
If I am not sure how to figure out how to support a claim, one strategy I can use is…

I feel confident about creating classification models because I have practiced using different algorithms and techniques in class. By applying these methods to different datasets, I have gained a better understanding of how to effectively classify data.

It is challenging to interpret molecular data because there are so many variables and interactions to consider. Additionally, the data can be complex and require advanced analytical skills to analyze and interpret accurately.

One way to explain a scientific name is by breaking it down into its root words and prefixes. By understanding the meaning of each part of the name, we can better understand the organism or concept it represents.

In order to remember definitions of vocabulary words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards with the word on one side and the definition on the other. This helped me quiz myself and reinforce my understanding of the key terms.

If I am not sure how to figure out how to support a claim, one strategy I can use is conducting research to find evidence and data to back up my argument. By citing reliable sources and conducting experiments, I can strengthen my claim and make a more convincing argument.
