16. Be Safe, Be Sensible

17. 8/26 Work on Safety Review and Math Review Turn in contracts to blue sorter (file under first letter of your last name) Change problem 1 and 2 on Math Review to: 1) 18/2x3 = 2) 2(14-3 2 ) =

18. Let’s talk about feet…… FOOT LAB!!!!

19. How many feet: Presentation Create a report and present it to the class when called upon. I will ask you 3 questions. What was your method for getting the measurement? This will include a diagram. How did you maximize the precision? What is the usefulness of your measurement for someone going to the hardware store to buy a rope the same length as the distance across the room?

20. Accuracy and Precision The Goal Measure the width of the hall as precisely as you can using “feet” as your units of measurement. Resources Strip of adding machine tape Your foot

21. 12.9 ft which is the same as 12ft 11 in

22. What is the difference between accuracy and precision? Accuracy is the real deal; the truth; the accepted value Precision has two meanings: –How repeatable the measurements are (range) –How small the interval of measurement is In the foot lab, what aspect of precision was being investigated? What do you think the goal is in science regarding accuracy and precision?

23. Which is more precise? AB

24. A B

25. 8/27 Have Math WS out Turn in any forms to front desk

26. More measurement….looking for relationships

27. Order of Operations When there is more than one operation involved in a mathematical problem, it must be solved by using the correct order of operations. Remember, calculators will perform operations in the order which you enter them, therefore, you will need to enter the operations in the correct order for the calculator to give you the right answer.

28. PLEASE EXCUSE MY DEAR AUNT SALLY or just P.E.M.D.A.S. Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

30. OOO Practice Problems 1. 18 (2 x 3)= 18 6=3

31. OOO Practice Solutions 2. 2[14 – 3 2 ] = 2[14 – 9] = 2[5] = = 10

32. Isolating Variables Work backwards to isolate a variable. Perform order of operations backwards too

33. Isolating Variables Practice 3. 6 = 18a a = 4. F = ma a = 5. d/t = v t = 6. 8 =16/x x =

36. Why Scientific Notation? It makes it easier to work with very large and very small numbers.

37. Given the following: 2.00 x 10 4 The first part is called the coefficient (the 2.00). The second is called the base (x 10) and exponent ( 4 ). Proper scientific notation requires the coefficient to be between 1 and 9. The base is always x10. If the exponent is positive, the number is greater than 1 and the decimal is moved to the right as many times as the exponent to convert to standard form. If the exponent is negative, the number is less than 1 and the decimal is moved to the left as many times as the exponent to convert to standard form. Use the EE key – not the carot!

38. Record the following in Scientific Notation 685,003 kg 6.85 x 10 5 kg 407,501,000 sec 4.08 x 10 8 sec 0.00621 m 6.21 x 10 -3 m 0.00000000697 N 6.97 x 10 -9 N

39. 8/28 FIRST: Pick up both pages at the front desk. You will complete these in class today after some notes. SECOND: solve for x12/x = 36

Get a calculator Pick up all 3 pages at front The short dim analysis ws is what we are working on today The long dim analysis ws is your review for next Thursday’s test. There will also be safety questions on the test. NOW: If you have 6,230 cm, how many –Km? –mm? –Dm?

52. Metric Mania WS Look at the ladder If you are going down the ladder you add places (ie move the decimal right) If you are going up the ladder you subtract places (ie move the decimal left)

53. How may seconds are there in the month of August? PROVE IT!!!!!PROVE IT!!!!!

Is your answer going to be larger or smaller than the starting number?Is your answer going to be larger or smaller than the starting number? What do you know?What do you know? Remember you must be able to cancel out all units except the one you want to end up withRemember you must be able to cancel out all units except the one you want to end up with

57. Step 1 Write down the number and unit that you are starting withWrite down the number and unit that you are starting with

58. Step 2 Find out how to arrive at your final unit by using known conversion factorsFind out how to arrive at your final unit by using known conversion factors

59. Step 3 Set up your conversion factor so that the units cancelSet up your conversion factor so that the units cancel

60. Example Convert 5 m into km:Convert 5 m into km: Step 1: you start with 5 m Step 2: you need to get to km Step 3: you know that: 1km = 1000 m Step 4: 5 m X 1km = 1000 m 0.005m **Always multiply every number across the top,then multiply every number across the bottom. Finally divide the product of the top by the product of the bottom. Record number and unit.

61. You are an incredibly valuable employee. Your boss wants to reward you so she offers you two options. You can either work 10 days straight and receive one million dollars or you can earn a dollar per second up to one million dollars. You would like to buy an elite condo in the Bahamas that costs exactly one million dollars. Which deal will allow you to purchase the condo first? (Assume that you work every second of every day in both cases.) Your boss is in a hurry to a meeting so you only have five minutes to decide. Which do you choose?
