Discussing paper writing process

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
  • reflected visible light goes back out through car glass window
  • absorbed visible light is emitted as infra red
  • infrared can not pass back out through car glass window
  • role of gas molecules
