Summer School Policy
Laptops: We will be using laptops almost daily, it is a classroom tool each one of you will have an assigned machine You are responsible and accountable for how it is used and its contents. You will use it for your assignments, when instructed to do so. Laptops may not go HOME.
Google Docs if you do not have an account you should. Please take the time before the next class to set up an account this will allow you to access your work form home if you have internet access.

3. Nature vs. Nurture + Technology Yields Change
Change is inevitable the question remains: What are the benefits and consequences for our actions and at what cost?
Change
Nurture The way something is treated
Natural the way something is created
Its chemical and physical properties
Technology
Advancements that affect the way we do things

11. Scientific Method Identify a problem Research the problem
Make a Hypothesis Attempt to explain Why this is the prediction of what and ]or why you expect something to happen
Test the hypothesis
Independent Variable the factor or condition being tested
Dependant Variable the factor or condition that will change if the independent variable is changed
Control factors of conditions that do not change during an eperiment.
Make Observations and Record Data
Tables, Graphs, Charts
Draw a conclusion. Analysis of the Data
Arrive at a Conclusion
Report the results (Lab Report)

12. Choosing the right tools
Measurement
Length measure of distance
2 dimentional
Tool- ruler
Weight/Mass- Measure of gravitational force on an object
Tool -Scale
Area/Volume – the amount of surface area with in a boundary (container)
3 dimentional
Time duration between 2 events
Temperature the average vibration of the particles the make up a material

13. Density Measure of the amount of mater that occupies a given space.
Unit = g/mL Or
g/cm3
mass
Density =
Volume

14. Units of Measure and conversions
Standard (metric)
Kelvin (celcius +273 deg)
Grams
Liters
meters
English
Farenheit
Pounds
Ounces
Inches/ feet
Standard Units
kilo- x 1000
hecto- x 100
deka- x 10
Metric base unit (g, l, etc)
deci- x 0.1
centi- x 0.01
milli- x

15. Conversions Conversions you should know 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 qt = 946 mL
1 lb = 454 g
1 mile = 5280 ft
Do NOT forget your Labels!!!!!!!!!
1 set up the equation
5 minX_____ = ? Sec
2 List conversion factor
5 min x 60 sec /1 min= ? Sec
3 Multiply
5 min x 60 sec /1 min= 300 Sec

16. Lab Safety No Food or Drink
Goggles worn when working with glass/liquids/chemical
Use caution with liquids to prevent spills
Alert the teacher to spills /accidents immediately
