TEST TAKING/STUDYING STRATEGIES

Students with better study methods and strategies score higher on their exams. Everyone is different. Different methods work for different people; the following are only suggestions on improving upon your current studying techniques. It is best to review the material right after class when it's still fresh in your memory. Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test. Instead space out your studying, review class materials at least several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time. Have all of your study material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other relevant material. Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good lighting and little distractions (try avoiding your own bed; it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap). Start out by studying the most important information. Learn the general concepts first, don't worry about learning the details until you have learned the main ideas. Take notes and write down a summary of the important ideas as you read through your study material. Take short breaks frequently. Your memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle. Space out your studying, you'll learn more by studying a little every day instead of waiting to cram at the last minute. By studying every day, the material will stay in your long-term memory but if you try to study at the last moment, the material will only reside in your short-term memory that you'll easily forget. Make sure that you understand the material well, don't just read through the material and try to memorize everything. If you choose to study in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test. Test yourself or have someone test you on the material to find out what your weak and strong areas are. You can use the review questions at the end of each chapter, practice tests that the teacher may give out or other pertinent materials.

Listening to relaxing music such as classical or jazz on a low volume can relieve some of the boredom of studying. Don't study later than the time you usually go to sleep, you may fall asleep or be tempted to go to sleep, instead try studying in the afternoon or early evening. If you are a morning person try studying in the morning

Tips on answering multiple choice questions:

Read the question before you look at the answer. Come up with the answer in your head before looking at the possible answers, this way the choices given on the test won't throw you off or trick you. Eliminate answers you know aren't right. Read all the choices before choosing your answer. If there is no guessing penalty, always take an educated guess and select an answer. Don't keep on changing your answer; usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question. In "All of the above" and "None of the above" choices, if you are certain one of the statements is true don't choose "None of the above" or one of the statements are false don't choose "All of the above". In a question with an "All of the above" choice, if you see that at least two correct statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer. A positive choice is more likely to be true than a negative one. Usually the correct answer is the choice with the most information.

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
(2) Super Snails Bikini Bottom Experiments The Bikini Bottom gang loves science class and wanted to do a little research. Read the description for each experiment and use your knowledge of the scientific method to answer the questions. (1) Flower Power SpongeBob loves to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Sandy. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if will help plants produce more flowers. He plants two plants of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water. He places the other plant on a shelf in a closet and waters it with plain water every other day. What did SpongeBob do wrong in this experiment? Explain. Gary is not the smartest snail in Bikini Bottom and believes he can improve his brain power by eating Super Snail Snacks. In order to test this hypothesis, he recruits SpongeBob and several snail friends to help him with the experiment. The snails ate one snack with each meal every day for three weeks. SpongeBob created a test and gave it to the snails before they started eating the snacks as well as after three weeks.

Based on the data provided, did the Super Snacks work? Explain your answer.

(3) Bubble Time Patrick loves bubble gum and would like to be able to blow bigger bubbles than anyone else in Bikini Bottom. To prepare for the Bikini Bottom Big Bubble Contest, he bought five different brands of bubble gum and needs your help to find the brand that creates the biggest bubbles. Write an experiment to test the bubble power of the bubble gum brands and help Patrick win the contest.

What should SpongeBob do to test the effectiveness of Flower Power Fertilizer?

SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom pals have been busy doing a little research. Read the description for each experiment and answer the questions. 1 -Patty Power Mr. Krabbs wants to make Bikini Bottoms a nicer place to live. He has created a new sauce that he thinks will reduce the production of body gas associated with eating crabby patties from the Krusty Krab. He recruits 100 customers with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group A) eat crabby patties with the new sauce. The other 50 (Group B) eat crabby patties with sauce that looks just like new sauce but is really just mixture of mayonnaise and food coloring. Both groups were told that they were getting the sauce that would reduce gas production. Two hours after eating the crabby patties, 30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas problems and 8 customers in group B reported having fewer gas problems. Which people are in the control group? 2 Slimotosis Sponge Bob notices that his pal Gary is suffering from slimotosis, which occurs when the shell develops a nasty slime and gives off a horrible odor. His friend Patrick tells him that rubbing seaweed on the shell is the perfect cure, while Sandy says that drinking Dr. Kelp will be a better cure. Sponge Bob decides to test this cure by rubbing Gary with seaweed for 1 week and having him drink Dr. Kelp. After a week of treatment, the slime is gone and Garys shell smells better. What was the initial observation? What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? What should Sponge Bobs conclusion be?

What is the independent variable?

Why do you think 8 people in group B reported feeling better? What is the dependent variable?

Rock Cycle Song

(Sing to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

SEDIMENTARY rock Has been formed in layers Often found near water sources With fossils from decayers

Then there's IGNEOUS rock Here since Earth was born Molten Lava, cooled and hardened That's how it is formed

These two types of rocks Can also be transformed With pressure, heat and chemicals METAMORPHIC they'll become.

PLATE TECTONICS
Song 1 (To the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat) Convection currents in the mantle, they go round and round. Hot goes up and cold goes down, moving plates around. Asthenosphere is the one thats moving round and round. Lithosphere is where we live; we call the plates the ground.

Song 2 Do the Plate Tectonics, Plate Tectonics, Plate Tectonics Dance Whaaat? Do the Plate Tectonics, Plate Tectonics, Plate Tectonics Dance When plates collide, they push up high forming a mounting up to the sky When the plates divide, move out my way, new crust is commin or a rift vallay Transform boundry get ready to slide, but hold on tight, its a shaky ride. (Repeat)

WATER CYCLE BOOGIE

1) Sun is shining, from its birth, Dries the Water, dries the earth, A yellow bead shows its worth, Water Cycle Boogie 2) Evaporation, waters gone, To a vapor, wont take long, Choose a clear bead, Cant go wrong, Water Cycle Boogie 3) Clouds are forming,drop by drop, Vapor moving, will not stop, White bead shows us Whats on top, Water Cycle Boogie 4) Condensation, waters here, No more vapor, give a cheer, A light blue bead, like a tear, Water Cycle Boogie 5) Precipitation, rain and snow, Shows us water on the go, A dark blue bead, Dont you know, Water Cycle Boogie 6) See the water, moving fast, Runoff on the ground at last, Brown bead also joins the cast, Water Cycle Boogie 7) Transpiration from a tree, Water vapor, you can see, Green bead shows it all to me, Water Cycle Boogie

Moon Phases Song

To the tune of the Ants Go Marching

Each moon phase marches COUNTERCLOCKWISE Now, lets start The FIRST PHASE is the NEW MOON that we see as DARK Then next the WAXING CRESCENT shines A LITTLE LIGHT upon the RIGHT, And after thats FIRST QUARTER MOON, where the RIGHT HALF IS LIGHT

Following is WAXING GIBBOUS on the RIGHT Where the LIGHT continues SPREADING and becoming bright. Well be HALFWAY through the phases soon, With the FULLest, brightest, biggest MOON Just before the DARK creeps on the RIGHT 0f a WANING MOON

The WANING GIBBOUS phase is when the LIGHT will SHRINK Then what will be the next phase after that, you think? Its now time for a THIRD QUARTER MOON DARK on the RIGHT will halfway consume And the LEFT side is the ones thats BRIGHT. Did you get that right?

The next phase is the LAST phase where theres just a spark Of light, so WANING CRESCENT appears ALMOST DARK The moon is really magical When its WAXING, WANING, NEW or FULL And it couldnt shine at all Without The Suns bright light
