HW: > Complete lab work through histograms and results tables; glue into notebook
> Buffet: define the unit vocabulary
  best practices:
   • use multiple reference sources , then write own definition;
   • include multiple definitions for a Quizlet flashcard deck;
   • write assertions that show the relationships between two or more terms
  worst practice: cut and paste from a single source of a vocabulary list
