ADOPT a physicist

Just a reminder this is the last week for ADOPT a physicist you should copy and print out your questions and correspondence and have that ready to turn in.  If you have not posted and or not  read your physicists reports you should do so immediately.

Above all else do not waste people time by posting questions that have already been answered.  Read the posts!!!

QUEST REVIEW

EACH ACTIVITY
Has a key skill or idea.
Can you readily Determine each one.

Can you List the key Terms

• describe define and differentiate each?  (level 3)
• Can you apply the concept?(Level 4)
• Can you use it to create new ideas?( Level 5)

DAY 21: Activity: You are older than you used to be...

How old will you be in seconds on your next birthday?
TMBG

Key Skills:

• Dimensional Analysis (this is the idea being taught the answer is irrelevant)

• failed strategy -->cross multiplication= crack you should not do it!
• HW: 
• Make observations to Describe & list the steps in the process from class examples ->comment on blog
• Apply the  steps to one or more of the practice problems from the link below
• Practice page

HW

• Complete the construction of your chart of Fundamental Quantities

Standard for mass.
Example:
1kg=800 US quarters 1976 at 25 degrees F


Standards:Article






EE

Measurements

Define Describe Differentiate:D3
Measurement,standard,Fundamental unit,Derived unit,English System, Mertric System

What is a measurement?

What is a standard?

What are the standards for distance, mass, time?  If you don't want to look it up come up with your own. (1 hiccup=.5 seconds)

What are the four other fundamental units?



Why do we need measurements?  How are they different from other observations?

Terms that may help:
Subjective, Objective, Quantitative, Comparative.


Get a head start:
Make a chart:

• Fundamental quantities
• unit name
• unit abbreviation (English Metric)
• standards
• Variable

Possible Questitio tomorrow on observations!!!! Hypothesis generation and testing?

Analysis


I can

1. make observations (1 of the 5)max, min,... (1)
2. develop idea-->create a hypothesis   (2-3)
3. Test using observations       (3)
4. Test Result--->conclusion (false go back to step1) (4)
1. true-test it again

• see above
• a good rule works all the time (if false even once go to step1)

If you can do the above you will be at least a 4.
if you can develop a rule that works for all data --->5
