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

      You knew this when you left. Probably would have been a good time to ask. Piece of paper a pen would do and you could cut and paste. Use duct tape. Hot glue. Decoupage that sucker right into your notebook.
