Updated Work:
Assignment 1
- Observe the graph below
- List observations of the characteristics of a good graph
- Print and Paste in to your composition notebook
Assignments2
- Identify the 4 basic parent graphs and their general forms
Assignment 3
- 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
- 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
- extra credit graph on excel and have it draw the
best line of fit and calculate the equation of the line.
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
- 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?
Dan Nachtigall MOD7 Hey Mr. Crane on the twitter I can't find any links for the things that graph. Where is it?
ReplyDeleteYogurt,
ReplyDeleteI will post it to the blog asap I will also include instructions and a link. But if you want to do it ahead of time its on the twitter about a year ago this time. There are a lot of good old post that usually relate to wht we are doing but I do not always repost them so looking at the blog and twitter from a year ago may be really helpful.
Yogurt Danon Mod 7 Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYogurt Just to get it straight it is not due tommorow? Or is it?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know for the poster...... How do we know what the units are to split them up so we each get one?
ReplyDeleteI created a post with some sample information. There are 7 fundamental units.. Distance is 1 of them.
DeleteDan Nachtigall MOD 7 wait I looked up the fundamental units and it's showing things like kelvin, meters, etc. So what are they I also keeping seeing distance but distance isn't a unit it's a mesurement
ReplyDeleteJustin liu mod 7
ReplyDeleteI have a question about the standard for time- since there really is no other way to measure time other than seconds, I can't find the standard for time like a bar of platinum iridium is to meters. If you could help that would be great.
Look up vibration cesium 133 atom and standard of seconds.
ReplyDeleteThis is Lizzie P. from mod 4. Where can we find the worksheet on determining the rules?
ReplyDeleteYou should have received a packet with all the answers for level 1 & 2. Let me know if you did not get this. It is exactly like what's the significance where you look at the answer and determine the rule.
ReplyDeleteWe have not been given any packets from our substitutes. The only thing we were given was the "Distance & Scale" worksheet from the link. Other than that, we completed our posters on fundamental units
DeleteDoes the top of the work also pertain to us?
ReplyDelete-Madison Hull Mod 7
No
DeleteDo the honors classes do assignments 1-4 or just the assignments after phreshman honors. -joe r.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused for assignment 2. What four graphs? Do we have to print-out the worksheet link and do it? How do you want us to identify the four graphs?
ReplyDelete
Delete1. Make observations
2. Look for similarities
How many different type of graphs are on the WS
3. Look for differences
4. find relationships

Thanks, the worksheet link sent me to https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7bJIeVT3zuOaVM5aW9zWXF0QXc/edit?usp=sharing
Deleteno matter how many times I tried it differently.
And for assignment 3, can we use our own graph paper instead of going through the trouble of printing it?
ReplyDeleteit makes it easier for you to compare graphs and work with your fellow students if everyone uses the same graph paper...
ReplyDeleteyou should have about 18 total characteristics or things that are shown on a graph. You should also be able to identify what it is.
ReplyDeleteExample the :
Graph starts at 0,0
The Graph has no breaks in it WARNING: You may NEVER put a Break in a graph it defeats the whole purpose...
Hey, Mr. Crane, I was wondering what we were supposed to use the strong for in the experiment "Easy as Pie." -Sydnee mod 4
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Crane,
ReplyDeleteA few of my classmates and I were confused about the assignments we had to do besides sig figs, the poster, and adopt a physicist. If we are in honors, are we supposed to do the top sections with assignment 1-4, or just the category of Honors Physics?
