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?
