Lesson 1 – We spent some time handing in, and having returned various preps 🙂

Remember to bring in a USB stick next Monday so you can go on to the shared drive to collect useful information – like all the answers to the questions in the GHG revision guide 

We will be having another go at the Bio and RM glossary tests next Wednesday  – so get revising. You should all be able to achieve 80% in these assessments – especially as you now have the answers to revise from 🙂

We recapped the sign test and meaning of significance. You were given a diagram of a normal distribution curve for your files – you have been asked to draw and a positive and negative skewed distribution curve on the back of it – I will check these on Wednesday.

You wrote a statement of significance.  P<0.05 and explained what it means.

Here is the introduction to Biological Rhythms >>  1 intro to rhythms ppt

Lesson 2 and 3 ->>>>>> 2 circadian rhythm

You were given time to complete some worksheets and gap fills that helped you to make sense of the Circadian Rhythm – you used your text books to look up research and develop your knowledge of key terms.

I assessed your understanding of the Research Methods terminology we have been looking at in relation to descriptive and inferential tests.

Prep:

Don’t forget to keep your sleep diaries and bring in your data for Wednesday 

Lesson 4- 5  – This lesson was about correlation – hopefully this method of analysis is now clearer to you. See this power point >>> 1-correlations-2018

This works out the Spearman’s Rho correlation coefficient for you >> works out correlations for you

Prep:

  1. You have a standard deviation work sheet to complete for next Monday
  2. I will want to see your negative and positive skewed distributions too.
  3. Bring a USB stick to lesson on Monday as we will be in the computer room
  4. You have another Research methods and Bio Psychology assessment next Wednesday
  5. Pre-read the section on Infradian and Ultradian rhythms from your digital text books
  6. Consolidate your understanding of circadian rhythms – Have you looked at the answers to the Apply it questions? Have you completed the quiz? “Do the work to get the grade”
  7. Write up your correlation research  – see last slide of the correlation power point above. I am looking for the traditional format.
  8. You have a few more pages to complete in your PHG Bio Psychology pack – do your best to complete the pack.
  9. Start reading ahead ………………………….Forensic Psychology Next 🙂
