Start the following in class:
1. Do all the pages in the chapter 13 States of Matter Test as a formative assessment to find out some of the things that you do and do not know, and not as a research project.
- If you did not obtain a handout packet for the chapter in class, go to MNSD Google Drive > Student Resources > Formative Tests and print off a copy of the test for the chapter you are studying. Each chapter test is identified by a name whose last two digits is the chapter number. When you open the chapter formative test the first page will have the words “Chapter Test A” in the title.
- For each question or problem challenge, either answer the question to the best of your ability using one or more full sentences, or answer the problem to the best of your ability by recording any numbers and units together with the mathematical operations performed in symbolic terms, along with the solution to the problem which should be circled.
- Each formative test is a real chapter test that some teachers in other schools might use as a chapter test, so after taking the test, make sure that you understand each unfamiliar word, idea, concept, and problem. Be sure to finish this packet in its entirety.
- After doing the formative test, but before you demonstrate your understanding on our class’ chapter test, you will check all your responses using green ink check marks √ for each correct response, and by lining out (striking trough) and inserting improved text in green ink when you think the suggested response expresses your present understanding in a better way. In that way make sure that you understand each idea that you originally did not have a complete understanding of. Then you will be able to study more efficiently by studying that which you corrected in green ink.
