DUE 1st Class after BREAK 
no exceptions this was discussed and announced in Class 12/19/14
Failure to complete this assignment in the manner prescribed will result in a failing grade and make it difficult to pass the quarter.


Print out and complete the quest.  Printer does not work answer on a separate piece of paper.
QUEST

You MAY discuss the questions openly on the BLOG.
You MAYNOT post answers

Straightening Things out!

In your Lab notebook

Objective: 
Experiment and produce using a pendulum the Graph picture shown in class.
Explain how you got the desired graph.
What is position?
Take a picture of your set up.
Draw a diagram of your setup that produced your final graph.
Sketch the graph in your notebook? What are the max and min what do they represent?
 How could  you use this in the Not as Easy as Pie Lab?
Are there anything you learned about the U.L.I.?

quest on graphing and graphical analysis

Hint:

How to review

Look at your notebook T.O.C.  

Find activities since last test.

easy as Pie & not as Easy as Pie.  Look at the things we did in order to accomplish the labs and the ideas discussed.  Now you should a good idea of what you need to know.

Here is an example:

Be able to construct and read a "Good Graph"

Identify the parent relationship <equation>. (See parent graphs)

Write the equation of the line intend of the specified quantities 

20%

interpret the m & b of the equation along with their specified units.

Make statement about the overall relationship between the quantities.

Interpreting Slope and Intercept

Help
It is important to examine the meaning of an equation and to correctly analyze the meaning of slope and intercept...

Not as Easy as Pi

• Make observations and measurements that are both precise and accurate

• Ask critical questions.
• Create Hypothesis.
• Create a "controlled" Experiment.

Determine relationship using Graphical Analysis
.

Easy as pie.

Objective:use observations and measurements to determine the relationship between two quantities circumference diameter.

1.Measure both precisely and accurately the circumference & diameter of 10 circular objects.

2.graph the circumference and diameter of 10 circular objects according to the good rules of graphing given in class and on the block

                    Note:The most important thing in your graph is that it takes of the proper amount of  

                             space this is done by developing a proper scale.  

                             This is accomplished when all your points fit neatly on your graph and have an easy-   

                              to-read increment of either fives, tens, or two's.

Graphing Observations

• Observe the graph below
• List observations of the characteristics of a good grap
  • • Print and Paste/tape in to your composition notebook 
    • Use bullets or #'s identify on the graph

Metric Prefixes

Click Here

• You Can either Print or make a chart in your notebook using a ruler!!!
• Which ones do you think are the most important?

Factor Label

• dimensional analysis aka Factor Label aka unit analysis
• use to determine/communicate answers to real world problems
• describe the steps/process of solving a problem using dimensional analysis 
• use dimensional analysis to convert units
•  Factor Label WS
• HW 1-3
• Unfinished class problem "What should I save per day to send one of my kids to college?" Factor Label

Units, Numbers and Measurement

• Measurements
• Identify the 7 fundamental units
• what they measure/their symbols and units
• define a M,Kg,S
• differentiate between fundamental and derived units
• Make correct measurements of objects
• Write measurement with their proper units
• dimensional analysis 
• use to determine/communicate answers to real world problems
• describe the steps/process of solving a problem using dimensional analysis 
• use dimensional analysis to convert units
• Significant Figure
• identification
• +/-
• *,/
• Scientific Notation
• Write and interpret #'s in and from S.N.
• Metric Prefixes
• define and interpret the Major Metric prefixes

Fundamental Units

• Define Describe and differentiate between unit of measure
• Determine which are fundamental
• Come up with a standard to describe a certain amount of a quantity
• Ex. Distance
• fundamental-"Yes"
• Description-the amount of space between to points in a linear plane
• Standard-1 foot - the length of the foot of the king of England
• note: this is a standard but it has some serious issues

Assignment 1:

• Read and post to the blog
• Come up with a standard for each of the 3 quantities discussed in class listed below
• POST as a reply to each one

Assignment 2:

• Create an organized chart (using a ruler) to put the name of the measurements the standards symbol and unit of measure.   Chart should take up entire page and be hamburger not hotdog in your notebook.   5 columns and 7 rows!
• Use this link to complete your chart  Fundamental Units
• Print & Read:Kilogram losing mass
• Watch this Video Veratasium
• Write down any questions/ Post to the Blog under assignment 2 below

1. Identify the need for constants, the 7 fundamental quantities and the MKS system
2. use the SI system in taking and recording measurements in terms of significant figures, precision and accuracy
3. rewrite numbers in scientific notation and back to long form. Perform calculations in scientific notation without and without calculator
4. Identify the proper number of significant figures
5. Perform calculations with proper rounding based on significant figures
6. Use dimensional analysis to calculate required quantities

Petals?

• Use your observations to
• develop hypothesis
• Develop a test related to the hypothesis
• Post your ideas to the blog EXPLAIN what observation you made to develop the Hypothesis

Richie's Potty Chart

• Make observations
• Write down all questions



Why don't you have a potty chart?

• Classify or give a reason for why you made your observation
• Write down any questions you have as a result of your observations
• Purpose a hypothesis for each observation
• Even better can you purpose one Hypothesis that explains them all (Occam's Razor)->look it up and post
• First poster to Summarize the types of Observations that can be made gets a free HW.
