First unit reflection

I think that this unit started and ended pretty well. The first unit was easy because it was the begining of everything and was like a review of science and bio. The quiz we had was not my strongest but i definately understanded what we went over in our first unit. This unit covered the basic and what was science and about the natural world. I think i did pretty good on it and i understood it very well. I didn't think it was so hard and i'm excited to what we are going to learn in the upcoming days.

First Unit Reflection

I thought we started off great. I liked how the first unit was about a lot of things we learned before because I'm sure a lot of people forgot including me. It was a great review and it helped a lot. Especially with the microscopes and the vocabulary for controlled experiments. I forgot a lot about the microscopes and the review helped a lot. I understood better and now I think I can use the microscope without making too many mistakes. Also, the part about the controlled experiments helped a lot. It had words like independent variables, dependent variables, controlled variables, and more. Of course I already learned those before, but reviewing it helped me refresh my mind and understand better. The explanation about when to use which data helped a lot too. I also thought the Mexican Jumping Bean lab was fun. It's been good so far, but I know it's going to get harder. I hope I can do great in class!

First Unit Reflections

I thought this unit was a great way to start off Biology, because it covered the basics of science. I liked how we started off practicing with the microscope, since many of us have forgotten how to work with it. I also liked how we learned how to conduct a successful experiment, by using the scientific method. I'm glad we did the Tetrahymena lab, because it got us all used to doing labs and it prepared us for the future. So far, I really enjoy Biology and I hope it continues being this fun.

First Unit Reflection

With entering high school and all of that, this first unit was really great to start off with. We went over the things we learned last year and in middle school (which we might have forgotten over the summer) that got us back on our feet. I got to get to know the microscopes a little bit more in detail just because I didn't have that much experience with it in years past and exactly why we need to learn about science and where it comes from. All in all, the first unit was an excellent way to start off the school year on a positive note and to know what to except for the rest of our freshman year, which is sure to be a blast in bio!

First Unit Reflection

I had a lot of fun in this unit. Even though I had already learned about microscopes and such, it was so nice to get a review. I hadn't realized that I had forgotten so much! The amount of labs was amazing. I think we did 2 in the first week! In middle school we would have done 2 in a whole semester! Overall, it was challenging, yes, but I am looking forward to the rest of the year.

First Unit Reflection

This first unit was a good starting unit because it gave us a good idea of what science really is, and a good foundation to build off of. From here on we're going to build onto everything we know. I also think Unit 1 was successful in the idea that it gave us a feel of how the labs are going to operate this year. For example how we have to do a lab right up at the end of each lab unit/lab, and also how we have to work together as a group, etc. Unit 1 may have been review material to some, and it could have been very unfamiliar to others. Either way I think everyone gained a good understanding of the labs and everything we went over in Unit 1. Hopefully we will have a very successful year.

First Unit Reflection

I think that the first unit was a good review to begin the year. Some people in the class may have forgotten something from the year before over the summer and this unit reminded the class of what we learned. We got to do fun labs right away and I think they prepared us for what we are going to do in future units. All in all we started off the year very well. If we weren't prepared before, we certainly are now.

First Unit Reflection

The first unit was mostly a review because we had learned a lot of the stuff last year. Even though it was review, I definitely needed to refresh my mind on some of the information. There were quite a few labs in the first week of school, which was different than in middle school. Last year, we didn't always do that much of hands-on learning (labs, or experiments). I think participating in labs is a way to learn better. I was kinda surprised when we were given the lab write up because we had never done anything like that last year. Maybe if we had done some practice with lab write ups, we would have a better idea of how to write one.

First Unit Reflection

The first unit kind of felt mostly like a review but was a needed review. I remembered learning it from middle school but I only needed a light review of it to just jog my memory on the specifics. I was and am really surprised on how many labs we are doing because at my middle school we rarely did labs and when we did we didn't have to do much so when you gave me the packet and all the questions we had to fill out on the lab and then the lab write up I was like wow! I've never done a lab write up but since you gave us the rubric for what you are looking for in our lab write up and how to do it, I think I'll be able to figure it out just fine.

First Unit Reflection

The first unit was actually kind of unexpected. It was unexpected because I felt like we went really fast. I haven't gone this fast in a science unit before. But, I understood what I learned so I felt that it was okay. I was sort of surprised doing labs on the first couple of days of school, but I really enjoyed it. I felt like the first couple of days were review, but that was expected. I'm kind of worried that if we learn things fast, like we did this week then I might become confused. I'm a little excited for this year in science because we are doing a lot of labs.

Reflection of First Unit

I thought that our first unit was really interesting. I thought this because we learned so much so quick, but it wasn't that hard. Also, we did a lot of different experiments which I thought were fascinating. I realized that since class flies by we need to get a lot of things done and I need to focus a lot. I think that science this year won't be bad because so far some of the things we have been doing are a bit of review for me. I also think it will be fun because we are going to be learning about and doing so many different experiments with new materials. I am looking forward to this year in science.

Ford mustang

The ford mustang is an all american muscle car. The mustangs first major production year was 1964, although 1965 was a major achievement for ford. Mustangs are divided into five generations.

1st. 1964-1973

2nd. 1974-1978

3rd. 1979-1993

4th. 1994-2004

5th. 2005-present.

By far Mustangs best sales generation would be the 5th. in 2005 alone ford sold 168,000 mustangs!

Over the years Mustang has had a very powerful competitor. The sweet and slick Chevrolet camaro. The camaro, originally produced in 1966 the camaro is also divided into five generations.

1st. 1966-1969

2nd. 1970-1981

3rd. 1982-1992

4th. 1993-2002

5th. 2010-Present.

Both are american made 100% muscle cars and both are classics. Concerning the Mustang my favorite years are the first and third generations. For the camaro my favorites are the 1st and 5th generations.

Recently CarsWeekly compared a 2010 mustang with a 2010 camaro. They reviewed over the cars engine and interior and the exterior and appearance of the car. CarWeekly gave the edge to the Ford Mustang rather than the Chevrolet Camaro. They gave Mustang the edge because of the higher powered engine and the better mileage. Personally, I give the edge to the camaro. The camaro has a smoother ride, better interior and most importantly, the appearance factor. The camaro has a look like no other (Besides theMustang). The camaro looks ravishing in red and intimidating in black. My dream first car is a lamborghini aventador. My dream first car that is within reach is a gently used 2010 jet black Chevrolet Camaro.

What am i excited this year?: Learning about new organisms.

Least excited about this year?: HOMEWORK.
