Im just beginning

BELOW YOU WILL FIND a list the concepts you feel very comfortable with on the left side and those
that are targets for your learning (you could use some time to go more in-depth for better
understanding) on the right side
COMFORTS: I FEEL GOOD ABOUT.

TARGETS:
I WOULD LIKE TO GO MORE
IN-DEPTH FOR MORE UNDERSTANDING
FOR MORE UNDERSTANDING

BEGINNING:Begin your list below:

Identifying the equipment to measure,
mass, volume and length
Analyzing data

BEGINNING: B
