Hello instructor, please you help me fix grammar and sentence in my essay, keep original essay, just fix grammar and sentences that you feel nescessary.

My essay.

In order to achieve the qualities of a successful student, that student must have the qualities 

to evaluate in the most general way. Successful students have three main qualities. These 

qualities include setting goals, responsibility, and curiosity.

      First of all, setting goals is one of the most important tasks for every student. Because when

Students who clearly define their goals will make detailed scientific plans to progress

effectiveness of goals. From there, students will try their best to achieve the goal.

for example, when students study physics, their goal is to get an A, then they will make a review 

plan from starting and systematizing knowledge by tree diagrams, through tree diagrams, 

students will do a variety of exercises to familiarize students with when entering test time, they

will remember the knowledge, they will do well on the test, and achieve the goal of getting an A. 

Therefore, Students want to achieve high results in their studies, they need to have a clear plan 

and determine the right goals according to their ability. It is one of the qualities needed to 

encourage students to set goals before they want to learn about something and help them 

gain knowledge effectively.

      Second, responsibility is one of the indispensable qualities in each student when they sit on

 school chairs. because when each student understands their responsibilities, they will always 

take good care of school equipment, to keep it like new, undamaged. For example, When

students finish a lab class, they need to keep the equipment clean, and thorough washing helps 

prevent the device from becoming moldy and leading to damage. In addition, students will help 

the school has full teaching equipment without damaging any equipment. With respect to 

friends, it is always the responsibility of the student to maintain a good friendship and especially 

help each other when talking about learning. For instance, when a student needs help with a 

math homework assignment, because the math problem is difficult, and they can't do it, so 

another student will be responsible for guiding them to solve the problem, they are only 

responsible for providing solutions, to help this student rely on that direction to solve. As for the 

family, the student has the responsibility to listen to his parents, because the parents' advice is 

very useful to help the student improve himself when student wants to walk on the academic 

path. For instance, when this student is about to transfer, it will be time to register to choose a 

career and school, then the advice of parents, helps them better define the profession, and 

register for the appropriate school, because each parents student's always wants the best 

for them. Therefore, students have a responsibility to school, friends, and family to help the 

students to better themself.

      Last, curiosity is one of the most essential qualities for every student. Because students 

want to achieve high results in their studies, they need to first improve their knowledge by 

exploring many kinds of interesting exercises and clever solutions learned from books by many

 different good teachers in that subject. For example, when a student wants to do well in 

physics, first of all, student listens to the lecture while sitting in class, then student will improve 

his knowledge by looking at reference books about physics because in this book, there are 

many types of exercises and good solutions for this student to master in the most effective way.

Therefore, students should be encouraged to be curious about a lot of useful knowledge from 

good people, with high expertise.

       In conclusion, setting goals, responsibility, and curiosity are the three qualities of a

successful student. In addition, students who want to develop better, must have these three 

standards to help them develop comprehensively from academics to ethics, dealing with friends

and family.

• Photosynthesis is the process that converts solar energy into sugars in the form of glucose.
• Cellular respiration is the process that converts sugars into a form of energy that the cell can use.

• Producers are organisms that produce energy from photosynthesis.
• Consumers eat producers or other consumers for their energy.

Pre-Lab Questions:

Before beginning any part of the experiment, you will need to write a hypothesis about what you think will happen and answer the following questions. Your hypothesis should be formatted as an "if, then" statement.

1. Hypothesis:
2. What are the controls of the experiment? (what must remain consistent in the groups)
3. What is the Independent variable?
4. What is the Dependent Variable?

Below is information about the lab, how it was conducted, and the data collected.

 

Lab:

 

Lab Materials:

• 6 bean plants, with the same pots, amount of soil and same amount of growth
• Graduated Cylinder
• Ruler
• Sunny spot for the plants
• Dark spot for the plants

Lab Procedure:

Day 1:

1. First measure and record the height of each plant and observe what it looks like. Record the color, how many leaves it has, if it looks rigid or dry, and anything      else you notice. Label each plant based on its group.

2. Place each plant in its correct spot based on whether or not it will receive sunlight.

a. The control group will get full sunlight and water.

b. Group A will get full sunlight, but no water.

c. Group B will get no sunlight, but will get water.

Day 2:

3. Measure the height of each plant and make observations.

4. Water the control group and Group B.

 

Follow the instructions from Day 2 every other day. (Days 4,6,8,10,12, and 14 )

 

Data:

Biology Special Lesson: Discovering Photosynthesis Experiment

 

Post-Lab Questions:

Based on the procedure and data collected, draw conclusions and interpret the data to answer the following questions.

1. What happened in the Control Group throughout the experiment?

2. What happened in Group A throughout the experiment?

3. What happened in Group B throughout the experiment?

4. Why do you think that there was more growth in the Control group compared to... (Think about why it couldn't grow. This is more than just because it lost          water or sunlight.)

    Group A?

    Group B?

5. What does the lack of growth have to do with photosynthesis?

6. Was your hypothesis supported? Why/Why not?

 

Submission:

You will submit a written or typed response with the answers to the pre-lab and post lab questions.
