What we did in class today: Tuesday Sept. 11, 2012 Metrics review of tools, units, definitions and conversions. I’ll show you the class folder that I’ll use for your work and introduce the evaluation rubrics. We’ll watch a video clip (4min) on the metric system and you’ll answer 4 questions. Two of those questions will be on Friday’s Metrics, Safety and Scientific Method Topic Assessment. You’ll create a chart with a walk around activity that will be a metrics study guide for the remainder of the year.
Use the signs around the room to complete your chart. Do not leave anything out. Copy completely. Remember the codes. orange = tools black = units blue = definitions Distance from one point to another. Amount of matter in an object. The measurement of heat energy. Amount of space an object takes up The interval between events Measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.
