Evidence: What are some methods you can use to evaluate evidence? Have you ever been guilty of using less than reliable evidence? How does learning about claims and evidence make you a stronger critical thinker?Research and Evidence: What makes research reliable? How can you check the reliability of your evidence? Is there any research that can trust, 100%? Where are places you can go to hopefully find the most reliable research? What should you know about people conducting the research?Belief systems and critical thought: Why is it important to look at things from perspectives outside of our own? What are some ways we can begin to see things from other perspectives? Why should we be careful when using the internet as a tool for exploration of thought and knowledge? How can you accomplish this successfully?Tools for taking charge of your life and learning: Do you think other media outlets are biased, but not your own chosen sources? Do you make an effort to watch all media outlets-even the ones with which you do not agree? Do you ever search out foreign media outlets to get an even broader view? Do you really analyze what you hear, view, or read, or do you passively take it as truth? Most importantly, what are some critical thinking habits you can develop to address media bias?

I have attached a pdf file of lab manual - it has about 45 questions about the lab Read all of experiment 5 in the lab manual. You will be be completing a modified version of this experiment using a series of fourteen videos created by Professor Judy George and filmed by Senior Lab Technician Lisa Oertling using an older version of the lab manual, so we will need to make some adjustments. During the lab period you will watch the following videos and record experimental observations about physical and chemical changes. As you complete the experiment you will answer the Procedure Questions in the lab manual.

Be sure to include the experimental technique to be used and determination of unknowns, if applicable. This section should be written in your own words.Purpose - introducing and explaining the purpose of the experiment to be performed. Be sure to include the experimental technique to be used and determination of unknowns, if applicableReference procedure - It is recommended that you write out your procedures, in your own words, prior to the start of lab to help you understand the experiment better, organize your thoughts, and draw any data tables you will need.Safety - List the any additional safety precautions called for in the experiment; these are usually given in the lab manualWaste - List the any special waste handling procedures called for in the experiment; these are usually given in the lab manual.Results and Calculations - The results from your experiment are always entered in this section. Recall in the Objective that you asked the question, “what is being investigated in this experiment?”. This is the place to answer that question.Discussion - The discussion is used to explain your results; the previous section is used to present the results, this section is used to discuss these results. Ask yourself provocative questions such as: Do the results make sense, is there some data missing? Did you obtain a result different from your expectations?Conclusion - Restate the final results of your experiment in a concise and thorough manner. This section should be brief (one-paragraph).Questions - Give the answers to any questions appearing in the lab manual.
