Pd.9 During My Absence

All students are expected to bring all necessary materials and work on assignments.  If you are having issues post to the Blog.  You will receive credit and grades for your work.


 Assignment 1

• Work on Packet on Significant Figures & Scientific Notation
  

• This should not be rushed through you will be taking an online quest posted here and on the calendar in Q1
  

Assignment 2

• Observe the graph below
• List observations of the characteristics of a good graph
  • Print and Paste in to your composition notebook
  •  
    
    
    
    

Assignments 3

• Identify the 4 basic parent graphs and their general forms

• Worksheet

 Assignment 4

• Easy as Pie
  • Record in you note book all date 
  • Find 10 circular objects --->  i have a jug of plastic lids under my desk.
  • Measure the Circumference & Diameter of 10 Circular objects that are incremental spaced----> this means to use a ruler
    • make and state any observations the dumber the better
    • WARNING: Calculation does not = Measurement
      • you must use a ruler and a piece of string
      • keep sting in notebook
    • incrementally ~2,~4,~6,~8 not 2,28,29,30,37,118 
    • create a graph of C vs, D using the graph paper below
      • make sure that its characteristics are similar to the sample graph shown in the picture above
      • graph paper
      • apply your observations of good graphing
    • Calculate the slope and write the equation of the line in y=mx+b format
    • rewrite the equation and substitute the values being graphed for y & x
      • help
      • extra credit graph on excel and have it draw the best line of fit and calculate the equation of the line.
        

Assignment 5
Not as Easy as Pie 

• Take your string from the previous experiment time a small weight to it. a rock a ring a bobble or a cat
  • not responsible if you actually tie a cat to your string poor judgement
  • pull the object back slightly time how long it takes for a complete swing.  Record the time.  What does this time measure or represent?
  • Make observations---> State questions
  • Is there any way to improve on the measurement?  If so how?  Record your method.
    • Repeat this for 10 different lengths 
    • 
      
  • Make a hypothesis.
  • Make a graph of the Period vs. the length.
    • Draw a Best Line of Fit or BLOF
      • Does it look like your Easy as Pie Graph?
      • How so?
      • Make & state any and all observations  
      • What is the relationship---> write the equation of function for T and length based on your data?

Phreshman Honors

• Oct 22.  see adopt a physicist post Participate in Adopt A physicist see blog  
• (Your groups and physicist were assigned in class)

• Create a  Poster of Fundamental Units for your Group each person should be responsible for one unit
• 7 Fundamental Units-. things that can be measure that do not depend on other quantities
• Based on your observations
• Mass is fundamental
• density is not fundamental it has mass and volume
• volume depends on distance ^3 or (LxWxH)
• therefore volume can not be fundamental

• Use Scientific Method to Create and determine rules for the following ( You may work with your adopt a physicist Group) The process is identical to "Petals Around A Rose"
• You may not look up the rules you must  use the answers from the WS to determine them
• State which questions help you prove your rule
• If your rule works for all examples stop if not continue to test and refine your hypothesis
• Rules for:(#)= the # of possible rules
• Significant Figures
• identifying the # of Significant Figures(3)
• Adding and subtracting numbers with sigfigs(1)
• Multiplying numbers with sigfigs(1)
• Scientific Notation
• watch video
• Complete WS
• writing Numbers in Scientific Notation(1-4)
• how do SIGFIG relate to Scientific Notation?

Adopt a Physicist

ADOPT A PHYSICIST

STARTS OCT.22 @ 2PM EST *****Post only a few questions @ a time***

Class Title:

M4 Phreshman Physics Phirst

Grade Level:

9

Student PIN:

1301

*Its here!  We have our physicists.  I will post info along with instructions ect.
http://www.adoptaphysicist.org/ 
 Pin#:1301

• Adopt a physicist is a way for you to interact with people who work as physicist!  
• You can ask the questions like whats your favorite song?...  
• But more important questions should be asked like 
• current events in science?
• higgs boson
• near Earth objects(NEO) - asteroids
• ect.
• what made you chose physics?  
• Were there any other jobs you considered?  
• What else could you do with a physics degree?
• Possible discussion Topics Link

• Find Mainland Physics Period 

What's the signicance?

• What are the rules for significant figures?
• read the rules people have already written
• if you like a rule like the post
• if you think you can state the rule in a better way do so
• What is the fewest number of rules necessary to determine all types of significant figures? 

• What about adding and subtracting # of different significance?  Is there a simple rule or way to explain it? 
• if your post is about adding and subtracting make the first line (+,-)

Petals Around a Rose Discussion

Do not post any rules or hypotheses that have been verified

• You may discuss specific rolls to your class.
• Why did you chose that roll?
• What can be determined from the roll?
• Do not overreach and state your theory on how this works. (WALT SULLIVAN) 
• In order to determine the rule what roll would you most like to see?
• How would this help you determine the rule?

Richie's Potty Chart Chat. (ALL HONORS CLASSES)

What are the key ideas behind Richie's Potty Chart how does it relate to Physics/Science?

What is the biggest scientific limitation of this investigation?



Blogging:

• Read what is already written
• Do not repost same ideas
• Do not write a every idea in your head allow others to contribute and expand on your ideas/post.
