Name the three question types and their percentage - Data representation 35% research summaries 50% conflicting viewpoints 15% What does data rep have you do three things - 1read graps 2interpret Scatter Plots questions about grafs 3explained information What do you do on Research summaries - Interpret the design and results of the experiment questions about study ones 32in study 3 What do conflicting viewpoints have you do - Test your ability to understand outline compare different viewpoints questions about scientists one in scientists to Name the three types of act passages How many of each passage and how many questions Ineach passage - 3data rep 5-6q 3reserch sum5-6q 1conflict viewpiont7q Each passage type also has unique question types that - each required their own approach Explain data representation passages - Like science journals in text you'll see 1 the word study 2 1 to 4 pics or graphs What are the three questions types in data representation passages - 1 factual question 2 interpreting trends 3 calculation question Define factual question andwhat they ask you to do - 1 need to read the graphs 2 Place Pacific data points without further couculation 3 Advanced version is the Luminosity graph Define interpreting Trends questions and what do they ask you to do - 1 evaluate graphs and determine if relationshiop 2 increasing or decreasing 3 inverse relationship or direct relationship 4 Advanced versions there may be no clear relationship What calculation question ask you to do three things - 1 will ask where info is going 2 given the data what's my why be at Value X 3 will ask about extra possessions and interpretations How is research summary different from data representation - Research focuses on a specific experiment or a couple What are the 3 types of questions from research summary questions - 1 experimental design/ research intent question 2 hypothetical experiment 3 interpreting experiment What do experimental design questions asked you to do - 1 why research designed experiment a certain way 2 what are the controls and variables 3 what is hypothesis what do hypothetical experiment questions asked you to do two things - 1 determine what would happen if there was a change in experiment example temperature solution 2 need to understand the trend of data to predict how the outcome would change if the experiment were changed What do interpreting experiment questions asked you to do 2 - 1 interpret info as given 22x2matrix q of yes cuz a yes cuz b no cuz a no cuz b Strategy for data representation and research summaries one thing - Go straight to the question without reading the passage Strategy for data representation in research summaries questions that you can't answer with visuals - Circle and come back later Data representation in research summaries after you answer all the questions you can do what with the visual questions - Skim the passage for keywords and answer the remaining questions Name the two types of passages of conflicting viewpoint - 1 understanding of viewpoints 2 comparing of viewpoints What does understanding viewpoints have you do 2 - 1 check to see if you understand each author's point of view 2 what would researcher X predict to happen What are the two reading skills science tests - 1 reading visuals for scientific data 2skiming Explain reading visuals two things - 1 list questions can be answered just by reading graphs 2 ignore all info graph questions doesn't ask about Explain skinning - Look for keywords in answer questions when you tried visuals and you're stuck Exception to the skinning rule - The conflicting viewpoints passage need to read to find the two people's Theory differences in opinion How to practice the skills of reading for ECT science suggestion one - read Science Daily the peanut gallery allergy When reading Science Daily articles ask yourself these four questions as a test - 1 what is the main point of the experiment 2 what was the hypothesis 2 how are the experiment supposed to validate the hypothesis 4 in the visuals what is being depicted Suggestion to for practice skills for ACT reading science - The more basic science terms you know the fast fuel answer questions Suggestion 3 for reading is to science - practice 4 Non sciense people to succeed on act science focus on these 5things - 1 scientific method 2the 13 Topix 3 reading visuals 4 avoid scientific terms 5 focus on the reading aspect
