1. Bell Work: Units (I’ll collect labs after the bell assignment)
Arrange the prefixes from largest to smallest quantity: milli-, kilo-, Mega-, nano-, base, centi-
Arrange the units from smallest to largest meter, inch, mile, kilometer, second, foot, centimeter
Which quantity in question 2 shouldn’t be there?
Answer: Mega-, kilo-, base, centi-, -milli-, nano-
2. Answer: centimeter, inch, foot, meter, km, mile
FYI: there are 1.6 km in 1 mile.

2. Collecting Labs Place your lab on your desk number
Does your heading include first and last name? Date? Period?
Is your neighbor absent?
If you don’t have a lab to turn in, fill out a yellow NTI (Not Turned In) form to turn in instead.

3. Safety Contracts Required to complete labs
Print your name on the front
Answer questions 56-58
Sign the back
Get the back signed by a parent tonight!
Bring back to class tomorrow!

4. Units are of Utmost Importance
Would you rather have 10 cents or 10 dollars? Would you rather run 10 meters or 10 kilometers? Would you rather stay out 3 minutes or 3 hours late? Would you rather have a pound or kilogram of (fill in your favorite food) ?

5. SI UNITS
The worldwide scientific community and most countries currently use an adaptation of the metric system to state measurements. The Système International d’Unités, or SI, uses 7 base quantities, which are below.

13. Dimensional Analysis (AKA Factor Label)
Dimensional analysis uses a conversion factor to convert from one unit to another.
A conversion factor is a multiplier equal to 1.
For example, because 1 minute = 60 seconds, you can construct the following conversion factors:
𝑥 1 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒 60 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 60 𝑠 1 𝑚𝑖𝑛

14. 900 1 𝑚𝑖𝑛 60 𝑠 Should you multiply or divide??
The starting (given) unit goes on the bottom of the factor.
The unit you are looking for goes on the top of the factor.
𝑥 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ
Example: How many seconds are in 15 minutes?
15 minutes 𝑥 = ________ seconds
1 𝑚𝑖𝑛
60 𝑠
900
Should you multiply or divide??

17. Significant Figures (Digits) and Measuring
The numbers in measurements are limited by the measuring tool.
Significant figures in a measurement include the known digits plus one estimated digit.

20. Practice more measuring

21. 1. What is the 1st measurement?
1.42 cm OR 1.43 cm OR 1.44 cm
2. What is the 2nd measurement?
2.7cm OR 2.6 cm

22. How long are the pencils?

23. Activity
Measure the length of 5 objects in centimeters with as much precision as possible (estimate the last digit).
Convert all lengths to meters.
Create a data table including the object name, length in cm, and length in m
If finished, turn in before you leave to the early basket!
