1. Unit 1 (Scientific Skills), Day 8

2. Agenda  Catalyst  Pass quizzes back  Mastery based grading  Dimensional Analysis Lecture  Break  Phase 2 of Project  Homework: Scientific Notation, Calculator Usage

3. Catalyst  Date: Mon 9/9 or Tue 9/10  Reflect on the quiz from Friday  What do you predict is your grade?  Would this grade reflect what you have learned?  What would have been helpful to do better on the quiz?  What will you do in the future to demonstrate your learning well on assessments and projects?

4. Pass Back Quizzes  Period 1-3 Overall Average: 89% (B+)  Period 2-4 Overall Average: 84% (B)  Period 6-8 Overall Average: 89% (B+)  Period 9-11 Overall Average: 86% (B)

5. It’s All About the Learning!  If you got below a 100%, it is SUGGESTED that you come into office hours to go over the quiz  If you got below an 80%, it is MANDATORY that you come into office hours to go over your quiz  This MUST be done by THURSDAY!  Failure to do so results in a REFLECTION HOUR

6. With Your Quizzes  Habits of Mind vs. Essential Skills Grades  Look over them, determine if you MUST/SHOULD come into office hours  When finished, place them into the folders. Write your name large on the folder (First and Last).  SLCs

11. Mastery Based Grading  On PowerSchool, starred (*) assignments are NOT included in your final grade. The included assignments are the ones labelled “OVERALL SCORE” assignments. CategoryPercentage of Final Grade Unit1: Science Fundamentals23.3% Unit 2: Motion and Forces23.3% Unit 3: Energy and Momentum23.3% Semester 1 POL10.0% Habits of Mind20.0% Essential Skills and Knowledge (Physics Mastery) = 70% of grade Habits of Mind (Accountability, Quality, Collaboration) = 30% of grade

12. Mastery Based Grading  What this DOESN’T mean:  Unlimited retakes on assessments  What this DOES mean:  Multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery on an essential skill:  Homework, Quizzes, Exams, Lab Reports, Projects, POLs  Exams are cumulative, which means that the Unit 2 Exam will still assess mastery on Unit 1 material.

13. Mastery Based Grading  In Mrs. Larkin’s Class:  If you show higher mastery LATER, you receive the HIGHER score.  Example  On 8/30, you got a 7 on an assignment. On 9/3, you got a 9 on an assignment.  Your overall score would become a 9  If you show lower mastery LATER, you receive the AVERAGE score.  Example  On 8/30, you got a 9 on an assignment. On 9/3, you got a 7 on an assignment  Your overall score would become a 8 (average of 9 and 7)

14. Mastery Based Grading  REASSESSMENTS are allowed only for the following:  Unit Projects  Improve and return the project within two weeks. Must have been turned in COMPLETED on time.  Lab Reports  Edit the report based on Mrs. Larkin’s feedback and return within two weeks. Must have been turned in COMPLETED on time.  Unit Assessments  Do test corrections during Mrs. Larkin’s office hours and return within two weeks. Test corrections don’t count for points; they only EARN you the ability to do a DIFFERENT form of the unit assessment. Must be done within 2 weeks.

15. Bright Idea!  If you have not watched the YouTube video, do so tonight so that you are prepared for the unit assessment.  If you don’t understand something, OFFICE HOURS!!!!  Remember, you will see the content for EVERY EXAM from here to the end of the year, since they are cumulative.

16. Fraction and Units  What is  1/1?  2/2?  3/3?  4/4?  cm/cm?  kg/kg?  mL/mL?  s/s?

17. Basic Dimensional Analysis  Activity  There are 3 triangles per 1 circle.  There are 2 circles per 1 square.  How many triangles are in 4 squares?  There are 4 triangles per 3 circles  There are 2 circles per 1 square.  How many triangles are in 3 squares?

18. Basic Dimensional Analysis  Dimensional Analysis: Comparing relationships between units  Conversion Factor: changes something to a different version  1 ft = 12 in 1 mm = 0.001 m 1 kg = 2.2 lb 1 s = 100 cs 1 L = 1000 mL 1 mL = 1 cm 3  Conversion factors can be written as fractions: A = B A B can be written as A B WHY? B A OR

19. S.I. System  International System  k (kilo-) = 1000 base units  h (hecto-) = 100 base units  da (deka-) = 10 base units  Base units = grams (g), meters (m), liters (L), seconds (s)  d (deci-) = 0.1 base units  c (centi-) = 0.01 base units  m (milli-) = 0.001 base units
