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

Measurement & Numbers

You should be able to do the following at the end of the unit:

Unit: Measurement and Numbers students will be able to

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
