- Questions about any section?
- Revisit formal writing:
- APA style for headings, subheadings

- 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:

- Change in temperature of the cold water is large
- BUT SAME ENERGY: HEAT LOST = HEAT GAINED
