1. Unit 1 (Scientific Skills), Day 1 Measurement

2. Seating and Attendance (5 min)  Student Actions:  Seats will be changed today as needed  Trial Run: eventually a permanent chart will be created  Mrs. Larkin’s Actions:  Pass out name tents  Take Attendance

3. Agenda  Seating and Attendance (5 min)  Catalyst - SMART Goals (5 min)  Critique Goals (5 min)  Turn in Homework (1 min)  Investigation – Measurement With Bodies (12 min)  Explanation – Measurement Systems (20 min)  Break (7 min)  Lab – Measurement (40 min)  Goal Reflection (5 min)  Homework Explanation (Exam Explanation) (5 min)  Homework Planner (2 min)

4. Catalyst: SMART Goals - Create (5 min)  Side 2:  Academic goal for the year  Character goal for the year (think back to your catalyst!)  SMART Goals should be:  Specific  Measurable  Attainable  Realistic  Timely  Write goal in notebook too!  Mrs. Larkin’s Goals:  Academic:  By the end of this year, my students will have all passed their classes and have good college study skills like textbook reading, note taking, and lab writing.  Character:  By the end of this year, I will be able to say what each of my students’ goals are after high school.

5. SMART Goals – Critique (5 min)  Pair up with a person you haven’t met already  Share your half-sheet goals  Are your partner’s goals SMART? Help them to improve it in one way!  Specific  Measurable  Attainable  Realistic  Timely

6. Turn in Homework (1 min)  Half-Sheet  Side One should be about you  Side Two should have your two goals

7. Investigation (12 min)  Measurement With Bodies  Scavenger Hunt!  Try to get as many UNIQUE measurement as possible  Use specific increments of your BODY  Example: 1 hand, 2 finger lengths, 3 finger widths, 4 of your feet, 5 of your height, etc.  You must use a DIFFERENT type of measurement for each one!  Cannot use number of hands for both your height and your armspan  Movement does NOT count  Cannot say something is 15 strides long  You need NUMBER and UNIT for every answer  10 minutes to get as many as possible. Will be turned in.

8. Explanation (20 min)  Date the page  M 8/19/13  T 8/20/13  Title the page  U1D1: Measurement  (Stands for Unit 1, Day 1) M 8/19/13 or T 8/20/13 U1D1: Measurement

9.  A measurement must have: Magnitude (Size)Dimension (Units)

10. U1D1: Measurement  How many units can you think of?

11. U1D1: Measurement  Two Measurement Systems  US Customary Units: Mainly in United States of America  SI Units: International System of Units (global!) US Customary UnitsSI Units Distance (How Far?)Inch (in) Foot (ft) Yard (yd) Mile (mi) Meter (m) Mass (How Heavy?)Pound (lb) Ton (t) Kilogram (kg) Time (When?)Minute (min) Hour (h) Second (s) Volume (How Much Space?)Cup (c) Pint (pt) Quart (qt) Gallon (gal) Liter (L)

12.  US Customary Units for Length in foot (ft) 1 ft = 12 in U1D1: Measurement 1 yd = 3 ft = 36 in ft yard (yd) 1 mi = 1,760 yd = 5,280 ft mile (mi)

13. U1D1: Measurement  US Customary Units for Length  Reading a Ruler for Inches

14. U1D1: Measurement  US Customary Units for Mass 1 t = 2000 lb

15. U1D1: Measurement  US Customary Units for Time  1 min = 60 s  1 h = 60 min  1 d = 24 h  1 yr = 365.25 d How can you have a fourth of a day?

16. U1D1: Measurement  US Customary Units for Volume  1 pt = 2 c  1 qt = 2 pt  1 gal = 4 qt

17. U1D1: Measurement  SI Units  Length: 1 m ≈ 1 yd (US) or guitar length  Mass: 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs (US) or mass of pineapple

18. U1D1: Measurement  Using a ruler for cm

19. U1D1: Measurement  SI Units  Time: 1 s is about the time it takes to blink 7 times  Volume: 1L is about half a 2L bottle of soda

20. U1D1: Measurement  Using a graduated cylinder for mL  Always read at the bottom of the meniscus (curved surface)

21. U1D1: Measurement  1 mL = 0.001 L,1 kg = 1000 g, 1das = 10 s, 1 cm = 0.01 m

22. Break  7 minute break  Late/Not in Seat/Not Ready = Tardy!

23. Lab  Lab Notebook Explanation  Everyone must write down there own data! (i.e. give everyone a chance to do the measurement)

24. Goal Reflection  How did today help to further your SMART goals?

25. Homework Explanation

27. Homework Planner  Page 2 and 3 of Homework Packet  Due on Wednesday (for even classes)  Due on Thursday (for odd classes)
