V. Directed inquiry laboratory activities I liked that we were able to find things out for ourselves. They were planned to give students experiences with chemistry and to illustrate concepts. Your company is interested in using Biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels for the production of electricity and heat. They realize that fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and cannot be depended upon through the next century. Your group is asked to find which nut provides the most energy per pound.
Cost is also a consideration as well as availability.
Collaborative test taking I like being able to take the tests individually and then as a group. This helps us to see things we hay have missed the first time and be able to make up for the mistakes. They allow for us to talk about our answer and with discussion I believe comes better understanding. In addition to the performance assessments provided by student science club work, paper presentations, laboratory work and reports, and home assignments, we gave written content exams. The exams were designed to be done individually then immediately followed by the same exam done as part of a group.
