2. Section 1.1  Why study Physics???  Study of…  matter…energy…and it’s behavior.  Careers associated with Physics…  Examples…  Link to careers  http://www.physics.org then click careers http://www.physics.org

3. Section 1.2  Talking Physics…  *Must be specific… why?  example… speed and velocity  mass and weight

4. Section 1.3  Importance of Units  V=volume and V=volts expected to know which within the context of the problem.  Ratios and Proportions  Practice problems  Ex. 1.1 Practice problem 1.1 and Checkpoint 1.3

5. Section 1.4  Scientific Notation and the dreaded…  SIG FIG’S  Rules for Sig figs… link  http://www.germanna.edu/tutor/Handouts /Chemistry/Significant_Figure_Rules.pdf http://www.germanna.edu/tutor/Handouts /Chemistry/Significant_Figure_Rules.pdf  Practice problems  A)Worksheet B) Ex. 1.2; practice prob. 1.2  Ex. 1.3; Ex. 1.4

6. Section 1.5  Units  a) Metric system… power of 10  b) Why Metric???  c) Conversion factors  example… 12 in to 1 ft.  Practice Problems  Ex. 1.5; practice problem 1.5  Ex. 1.6; practice problem 1.6  Checkpoint 1.5

7. Section 1.6  Practice problems…  Ex. 1.7; practice problem 1.7  Ex. 1.8; practice problem 1.8  Checkpoint 1.6

8. Section 1.7  Problem solving techniques… link  http://groups.physics.umn.edu/physed/Resea rch/CRP/psintro.html http://groups.physics.umn.edu/physed/Resea rch/CRP/psintro.html

9. Section 1.7  Approximations  How do we approximate?  Question… How many blades of grass are there on the football field? a) Fermi Quiz b) Ex. Problem 1.9; Practice problem 1.9 

10. Section 1.9  Graphs  a) independent variable  b) dependent variable   Things to remember…  1) large and neat- why large?  use at least a ½ sheet of paper  2) label with meaningful title

11. Continued  3) Straight edge to draw best line fit  4) determine best fit by large range of the graph. Use values from best fit line to get slope.  5) Use algebra to manipulate a non- linear relationship  6) An “outliner” should be investigated. Perhaps more data close to that point.

12. Continued  7) You can use dimensional analysis to analyze slope equations.  Practice problems..  Ex. 1.10; practice problem 1-10
