CHEMISTRY: How’d you do today with your Excel graph? Once you get the hang of it, I predict you are going to want to always do these kind of graphs instead of hand drawn!
HOMEWORK INFO: You must bring a printed rough draft of BOTH of your graphs to class tomorrow – Thursday. Be sure and email your Excel graph to yourself – or save it some other way so that you can access it from school in case you need to make changes!
HOMEWORK UPDATE: Double check the Exercise 1 that you did. If you did the physics Exercise 1 (graphs had questions about motion) then you can redo it if you want to – you don’t have to redo it, but it will be graded for accuracy. Here’s the link the the CORRECT Graphing Exercise 1
Speaking of which – be careful with your hand drawn graphs! Carefully review the instructions on how to draw them. Common mistakes – switching independent and dependent variables, line not a best fit curve, graph too small, forgetting to label the axis.
Super important – when you scan your hand drawn graph to insert it into your Word or Google doc, remember that you have to scan it as an JPEG image and NOT a PDF this time! If you are using an app to scan, you’ll probably need to change the settings to scan as a JPEG.
I’m still trying to figure out how to not get the X and Y axis’ names mixed. I’ve been told a way to remember it and I’m going to try it out. I also learned that you don’t always have to connect all the dots on a graph.
I would rate myself 3/5 this week due to the fact that I did have problems with the graph. Overall I think that this week has been a good week in chemistry. I just need to work on my application skills.
I rate myself a 2/5 because I struggled with overcoming fear and stress. My triumphs this week are that I kept my head up, and stayed strong. And my goal this next week is to work on my study habits for the upcoming test on the periodic table.
I would rate myself 4/5 this week. I struggled with the excel graphs at first but I was better by Thursday.
I would rate myself 3/5 stars this week. I have stayed caught up by working on my graphs and correcting my mistakes, but I have struggled with understanding the graphs and how to draw and label them correctly. I will review the worksheets and ask questions when I am confused so that I have a better understanding of how to draw them the right way.
I rate myself 3/ 5 stars this week. I completed the Ring Challenge on time. I understand some of the topics we are discussing now. I am worried about upcoming due dates and the periodic table quiz. I am trying to find an online helping tool that will help me memorize everything. If anyone has tips on studying the elements, please let me know.
This week in Chemistry, I would rate myself a 3/5 stars. I was happy because I watched the graphing video very carefully and tried to figure out things before asking Ms. Skinner! I was also able to help other students by guiding them in the right direction without telling them the answer! In the future, I need to focus on not making silly mistakes on my test. This week was not bad, but hopefully next week I can rate myself higher!
This week in chemistry I learned how to make graphs using excel. I would rate myself a 2.5/5 this week I had trouble with making the graph do what I wanted it to do. But other than that I sort of understood what I was doing. I need to get better about how I work problems on my test and do them right so I don’t get counted off. Ready for the next week and many more to come in chemistry.
i rate myself a 2/5 for this week. i struggled with the graphs and how to make them. i went back and watched the graphing video carefully and i still could not understand. Ms. skinner helped me today with the graphs and how to correct my mistakes. my test could’ve been better. hopefully next week i’ll be able to rate myself higher!!
Application: When we did our rough drafts for the handwritten graft for the graphing exercise 2, I didn’t know whether to do draw a straight or curved line. However, after we went over it in class I realized that the points were arranged in a curve so that was line we would draw. I now know the difference in when to draw a straight or curved line.
This week I would rate myself a 3/5. For almost half of the week, I did not know what I was doing for graphing. I read all of the information; however, I did not understand what it what saying. I finally was able to figure it out when I was reading the questions for the graphing exercise. I still made some small mistakes but I was able to get them corrected in class.
I would rate myself a 3/5 for this week. At the beginning of the week I had no idea what I was doing on graphing, especially trying to graph on excel. After watching the vodcast and working step by step with the video, I was able to understand exactly how to make a good graph on excel. It was also very helpful having the outline on how to make a paper graph, because it refreshed my memory from 8th grade when were learned about making graphs.
This week I would rate myself a 3/5. At first I struggled with doing the excel graphs and was stressed about not being able to get the hang of it. Throughout the week I kept working, and it eventually got easier. I was also proud that I stayed on top of my work throughout the week, getting things done quickly so I wasn’t overwhelmed. Hopefully I can continue to do this throughout the year.
I rate myself a 2/5. I didn’t take enough time to do the graphs and I made careless mistakes. I redid the graphs and they look much better. I look forward to learning more and I will prioritize my time better in studying for the elements.
I would rate myself a 3/5 for this week because I really struggled with the graphs at first but I ended p getting the hang of it in the end.
This week I rate myself a 3/5 because I struggled to keep up with the graphing exercises and at first I didnt know exactly what we were doing. I feel as though I did good on my rough drafts . In the end I ended up getting used to using Excel and now its a lot easier for me.
This week in chemistry I would rate myself 3/5. I found this week to be the calmest week so far and I did well on all my assigments. However, I was disappointed in my grade on the chem test and am hoping to fix my mistakes and do better next time.
This week I would rate myself a 3/5. My test was not the grade I thought I would make and I have to improve my study habits. My goal is to make better grades and study harder.
I rate myself a 3/5. I didn’t do as good as I thought I did on the test and now I know I need to make an improvement in my studying. I also felt that this week I did a good job of understanding the graphing exercise.
I rate myself a 2/5 this week. I didn’t do as well as I hoped on the test and now i know that need to improve the way I study. I also feel that I did a great job in understanding of how to do the graphing exercises.
Rate: 3/4
The reason I would rate myself this is because I accomplished getting my graphs done and work finished in the required amount of time; however, I struggled with reading the instructions always thoroughly, which resulted in me developing errors in my rough draft graphs.
During this week I learned the basics of how to make a proper graph on the excel and on paper. While doing the graphs I found out that there is tons of minuet details that are very important and without them could result in a inaccurate graph and information. I had this mistake occur on my paper graph. While working on my graph I swapped the independent and dependent variables at first, and because of that my graph was completely wrong. Also this week I learned the importance of following instructions and planning ahead. When doing my graph I planned out a timed schedule to stick by so that I would be able to finish my work before the weekend and be able to enjoy my scheduled plans. These graphs required you to be precise and exact with your work and alert.
This week I rate myself a 2/5. The reason I say this is because the graphing on excel was hard for me at first but after I kept working it got easier. One thing that was hard is the X and Y axis and making sure you don’t get it confused.
This week in chemistry I learned how to graph on Excel. I triumphed when I did both of my graphs and knew where to correct my mistakes to get them ready for Saturday. I would rate myself a 4/5.
This week I learned how to use excel and draw correct graphs. I struggled early but finished the week strong learning how to do everything. Me and my partner also did good on the lab today. I would rate myself a 4/5 for the week.
this week I rate myself a 3/5 because I had a little trouble with the graphs at first.I think I’m finally starting to understand how to graph.
I would rate myself a 4/5 for this week because I have a pretty good understanding of the graphs and how to do them, yet I’m still trying to get to hang of little things like remembering the units in the axis labels and the order of the title.
This week I would rate myself 4/5. I did pretty well with the graphs, but I made careless mistakes. I need to practice with the labeling the axis and determining the x and y values. Overall this was a pretty good week.
This week in chemistry was a good one for me. I triumphed in doing the hand written graph well, but struggled a little bit on the Excel graph. I understood the mistakes I made on each graph. This week I would give myself a 3/5 stars.
This week I would rate myself 2/5. I struggled with working on the computers.
i would rate myself a 3/5 this week. i understand how to make the graphs pretty well but i need to start managing my time better in class and on homework.
This week I rate myself a 2/5. I didn’t do so good on the graphs. I was struggling a lot with the graphs but I’m gonna go back and watch the video a couple more times.
I would rate myself a 3/5 for this week, because I did very well with the computers, yet, I didn’t manage my time very well. I’ll try to improve that by paying more attention to the clock and listening to the complete instructions.
This week in chemistry I would rate my self 4.5/5. I feel like I did really good this week with all of the technology and stuff and it was mostly just smooth sailing. But I definitely think I need to work on my time management at home. Other than that I think I did really good this week!
This week in Chemistry, I excelled in the graphing exercise. I messed up on the test by not being prepared for it. I rate myself a 3/5.
This week in chemistry I learned how to make graphs on excel. At first I struggled with it, but it got very easy because I watched the video. I also really enjoyed the dancing raisins activity that we did today. It was very interesting seeing some of the raisins float up and down.
I feel as though I struggled this week. I didn’t stay on top of my assignments very well, and I took a long time to do my Excel graphs. But, now that I know how to do it, I should be able to complete it quickly without any problems! Next week, I will try to do a little each night so I’m not as overwhelmed.
This week I would rate myself as 4/5 stars. This is because I once again struggled with things as well as succeeded at others. An example of something I struggled with was the details of excel and hand graphs, like the trend lines. Even though I had pitfalls in that area though, I thought I succeeded at preparing for my element quiz, by studying for a small amount of time each night. Thus giving myself more time in the long run.
This week in chemistry we mainly focused on working with producing graphs in Excel to correlate with a data set of C’s and Y’s. I made some mistakes that I have yet to correct on my Graphing Exercise 2, however the graphs in Graphing Exercise 1 were very simple to read. I would rate myself 3/5 this week just because of my mistakes on Graphing bc I didn’t read instruction right. Also, I have to quit second guessing myself, and just carry out my initial inferences. Look forward to many more weeks in chemistry.
This week I would rate myself a 4/5. I feel like I actually did good on both of the graphs and also I felt the lab was fairly simple. I really enjoyed this week.
I would rate myself a 4/5 this week because there were very few mistakes on both of my graphs, I also completely finished the Dancing Raisins activity.
Triump: I got my lab done before Saturday, and I got to observe and understood the dancing raisins activity. I learned this week how to successfully graph graphs
Struggle: reading the entire paper before freaking out and not knowing what to do
I’d rate myself a 3/5 this week.
This week I struggled with making the graph on excel. I did not save it to the right place and I didn’t have grid lines on it. However, I did really good on the Sprite and raisins activity we did in class. I worked fast but carefully. I feel like I had my hypothesis and conclusion very accurate. I learned from my mistakes and managed my time better. This week I would rate myself a 3/5 because I struggle majority on the graph but in class activities I do well.
This week I have done pretty well with graphs. I am a little confused about the independent and dependent variables and my time management has not been the best. Apart from these two things I would say I have done pretty well this week. I would rate myself 3.5/5.
I rate myself a 4/5 because I did well at the graphs and I did better with time management this week. I feel like I accomplished more than I normally do in the time I was given.
This week I rate myself a 4/5 because I did well with the graphs but I am still confused on a few aspects of it. I did not do as well as I thought on the test that we got back.
I rate myself a 3/5 this week I feel really confident in graphing now it’s super easy now that we have gone over it
I struggle a little at the beginning with excel but figured it out
