My Little Dune Buggy...

Draw a picture
Describe the Motion
Sketch the predicted Position vs. Time Graph (label it P)
Run your experiment (sketch the graph from the "U.L.I") make sure your ULI is not set as 0
  • What is Position?
  • What is a frame of reference?
Interpret the meaning of the slope and write an equation in-terms of the variables.
  • Describe the slope
  • What is the slope representing? Describe by substituting your description of slope?
  • What does the Intercept represent?

There are countless experiments you can do but about 9 that are meaningful.
2 of your experiments will be graded @ random.   DUE FRIDAY

EXTRA STORY BOARD PAPER

not as easy as pie!

Extremely important: all lab materials must be returned to the box when finished there are 10 magnets please make sure that all 10 get returned.
Objective:  in this lab you use experimental techniques and measurements along with observational skills to determine the relationship between two quantities. Of the pendulum and the length.  In doing so, you should be able to determine the length of pendulum that would have a period of exactly one second.
*make observations about your mass yes I mean measurements!
1. Set up your experiment as shown below take a lab selfie of your set up.
2. For your pendulum back slightly and release.
3. Allow the motion to become consistent and then time 10 swings.
4. Repeat this procedure for 10 separate Lengths.
Note:The magnet is supplied to easily adjust the length of your screen without cutting.
The best idea would be to Premark your string  into equal increments of either five or 10 cm and then measure accordingly.
*what should be your small slang for based on our discussion of Precision?

1.  Create a graph of the data.  Following all the rules from good graphing and the excel tutorial
EC Create a normalized Graph of the data
2.  Answer the questions
  • Is it linear? How do you know?
  • What seems to be the relationship? Explain
  • Write an Equation for the overall relationship supported by your data?
The above is due Tuesday.
  • What is the value of the slope and intercept?  Interpret them both?  
  • How does this lab relate to the last lab physically and mathematically?

UNITS

Fundamental Units

  • Define Describe and differentiate between unit of measure
  • Determine which are fundamental
  • Come up with a standard to describe a certain amount of a quantity
    • Ex. Distance
      • fundamental-"Yes"
      • Description-the amount of space between to points in a linear plane
      • Standard-1 foot - the length of the foot of the king of England
        • note: this is a standard but it has some serious issues
Assignment 1:
  • Read and post to the blog
  • Come up with a standard for each of the 3 quantities discussed in class listed below
    • POST as a reply to each one
Assignment 2:
  • Create an organized chart (using a ruler) to put the name of the measurements the standards symbol and unit of measure.   Chart should take up entire page and be hamburger not hotdog in your notebook.   5 columns and 7 rows!
  • Use this link to complete your chart  Fundamental Units
  • Print & Read:Kilogram losing mass
  • Watch this Video Veratasium
  • Write down any questions/ Post to the Blog under assignment 2 below

Richies Potty Chart

  • Make observations
    • Embedded image permalink
      Why don't you have a potty chart?
    • Classify or give a reason for why you made your observation
    • Write down any questions you have as a result of your observations
    • Purpose a hypothesis for each observation
      • Even better can you purpose one Hypothesis that explains them all (Occam's Razor)

Science Religion Technology Philosophy


Which of these 3 is Science Fiction?
Science only cares about the outcome and the knowledge gained.
Post your comments.  How does society play a role in science?  Post any link to support you claims.
