Day 6- Jan 29/30

On Day 6 we went through the steps of how to create a good hypothesis. We also discussed the two different options you have for how to test your hypothesis: observations and surveys.

Day 6

We will be checking off your hypothesis next class period so please come with those prepared!

Day 5- Jan 25/28

Today we discussed the steps of the scientific method and worked on Parts 2-4 of your paper. The paper will be due Feb 7/8 and it needs to be at least two pages long. Please read the instructions on the paper carefully- it will answer a lot of your questions.

I also gave you the instructions for your next project! You will be conducting your own scientific research on a human behavior. The instructions on the project are under the Unit 1 tab to the right. If you have questions, come talk to me or send me an email!

Day 3

A few reminders:

If you did NOT turn in Part One of your "Why I'm Taking Psychology" paper, bring it next class. I will start deducting points after next time.

The Unit 1 Plan is slightly mixed up- all the homework (reading in the textbook) needs to be pushed up a day. So please read pg. 18-21 for next class (NOT pg. 4-11).

Please remember to bring back your signed Parent Permission Form next class!

Second Day

Here is the PowerPoint for Day #2 on the different types of psychologists. If you didn't get to finish our in-class activity, look on pages 8-11 in the textbook for an explanation of different psychologists and what they do.
