Is it scientific and impersonal?

  23. Completing “Practice Makes Perfect” • Data Analysis: Describe the data scientifically and impersonally! • Conclusion: ANSWER THE QUESTION: HOW DOES PRACTICE AFFECT ONE’S ABILITY TO PERFORM A TASK (use your data). • By practicing a task, the average reached ___________________(increased or decreased) and then ________________. This shows practice _________________ (improves, does not improve) performance.

  24. Further Investigative Questions? • On the bottom of page 6, write one more question you are curious about. • THIS FORMAT: • How does_________________________ affect____________________________?
