Unit 3 Review
Science students often have to work in a lab. A lot of funny and ridiculous things happen there. Make up a ‘chain story’ to describe one of them.
Example: Peter got into a lot of trouble a couple of days ago. The trouble began at
his chemistry lab class.
Cue: While …………………
Student A: While the teacher was explaining the procedure of the experiment he was looking out of the window and daydreaming.
Cue: When …………………
Student B: When students started heating necessary substances he by mistake took the wrong test tube. He was nearly frightened to death to see the substance going out of the tube and splitting on the desk and his clothes. The desk got stains on it and his jeans got holes in them.
Cue: ………before………..
Student C: The teacher was very angry with him, though he was glad Peter had remembered to wear safety glasses before starting the experiment. Anyway, Peter’s lab work was a complete failure and now he has to …
Cue: …………………
Student D: ………………..
Cue words:

as soon as, already, |
while, by the time |
never, then, next, |
after that, later, |
for, since, because |

If an (0) experiment works, something has gone wrong.
When you don't know what you're doing, do it (1) _____________.
Experiments must be (2) -----------, they should fail the same way each time.
First (3)---------- your curves, then plot your (4) -----------.
(5)------------ is directly proportional to (6) ----------- ruined.
Always keep a (7)---------- of your data. It indicates that you have been working.
To do a lab really well, have your (8) -------------- done well in advance.
If you can't get the answer in the usual manner, start at the answer and derive the (9)-----------.
In case of doubt, make it sound (10) ---------------.
Do not believe in (11) ------------- – (12) ------------- on them.

5. Comment on the following sayings:
Our inventions mirror our secret wishes. Lawrence George Durrell
A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience. Sr. Oliver endell Holmes
We invent what we love, and what we fear. John Irving
Where a new invention promises to be useful, it ought to be tried. Thomas Jefferson
Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come of nothing. Sir Joshua Reynolds
To make an apple pie from scratch, we must first invent the universe. Carl Sagan
The greatest inventions were produced in the times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gunpowder, and printing. Jonathan Swift
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Invention is the mother of necessity. Thorstein Veblen
The guns and bombs, the rockets and the warships, all are symbols of human failure. Lyndon B. Johnson
An inventor is simply a person who doesn't take his education too seriously. You see, from the time a person is six years old until he graduates form college he has to take three or four examinations a year. If he flunks once, he is out. But an inventor is almost always failing. He tries and fails maybe a thousand times. It he succeeds once then he's in. These two things are diametrically opposite. We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work. Charles F. Kettering
Accident is the name of the greatest of all inventors. Mark Twain
The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds. Claude Bernard
Every new body of discovery is mathematical in form, because there is no other guidance we can have.
Every new body of discovery is mathematical in form, because there is no other guidance we can have. Charles Robert Darwin
The discovery of nuclear reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than the discovery of matches. Albert Einstein
No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess. Sir Isaac Newton
All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinkings. Dr. Charles Henry Parkhurst

7. See how quickly you can find the answer to this rather long sum.
Four add two, divide by three, subtract one, multiply by eight, take away four, times three, plus two, minus four, halved, equals what?
