Spend about 15 minutes clarifying any questions and some general misunderstandings.

- Questions about any section?
- Revisit formal writing:

• APA style for headings, subheadings

• Write out contractions: don’t → do not

• Change since (a reason) → because

• Provide detailed descriptions, sketches

• Use tables from Homeworks 2 and 4

- Could a reader understand what we did from what you have written?
- Could a reader understand the reasoning from what you have written?
- Clarifying difference between heat energy and temperature

• Heat energy lost = heat energy gained
• If have a lot of hot water and a little cold:

1. Change in temperature of the hot water is small
2. Change in temperature of the cold water is large
3. BUT SAME ENERGY: HEAT LOST = HEAT GAINED

- Clarifying greenhouse effect:

• visible light goes through car glass window
