Interpreting Data Based on the data does changing string length affect number of swings per minute? Why? Why not? Length of String (cm) 123Ave 15.0 cm cm50 Variable: Length of String Constant: Mass of swing (50.0 g)
Interpreting Data Based on the data does changing mass affect number of swings per minute? Why? Why not? Mass (g)123Ave 50.0 g g Variable: Mass of Bolt String Length: 20.0 cm
Which swing will have more swings per minute?
Summary – How can you tell if your variable caused a change? – Which variable, mass of swing or length of string, affects the number of swings per minute? – How should someone design a swing to move back and forth many times per minute?
Lab Journal 1 The remainder of this presentation will show you what you should include in your lab journal. Use your paper copy as a rough draft to help you complete the work. The following slide has specific information for how to create a GoogleDoc to complete the assignment. I will guide you through this in class. There are other ways to create a Google Doc (like the app) but they may not allow you to create a data table or insert images.
How to create a GoogleDoc on the Ipad This lab journal should be created using Google Docs and “shared” with your teacher. – 1. Open a web browser on your iPad (Safari). – 2. Enter: drive.google.com – 3. Log in with your TA and password – 4. Create a Document – 5. Title the document: “Your name, block, Lab Journal 1” – 6. Click the little down arrows and select “Use Desktop Version”
Lab Journal 1: Playground Physics By: Olive S. Wings Class: Introduction to Physics Block: Put a title at the top of your document:
Background In complete sentences, answer all of questions from the background portion of your Lab Journal 1 packet.
Experimental Setup Create a separate drawing document to create your labeled pictures of a swingset and the model you used in class. Then insert the drawing into this slide.
Procedure 1: Investigating Mass of Swing Seat Write a numbered list of instructions, explaining how you investigated the effect of mass on the number of swings per minute.
Procedure 2: Investigating Length of String Write a numbered list of instructions, explaining how you investigated the effect of string length on the number of swings per minute.
Data Table 1: The Effect of Mass of Swing Seat on Number of Swings per Minute Insert a table with three rows and five columns. Fill in your data. Be sure to use appropriate units of measurement.
Data Table 2: The Effect of Length of String on Number of Swings per Minute Insert a table with three rows and five columns. Fill in your data. Be sure to use appropriate units of measurement.
Conclusion Write a paragraph, answering all of the conclusion questions from your Lab Journal 1 packet.
Wrapping up…. Did you – Title your document in the correct format? (Your name, block, Lab Journal 1) – Use the template provided so that your Lab Journal has 7 sections? – Title your sections like the example given? – Share your document with your teacher?
