8-29 Today in class

HMWK: Finish Pre-lab and have data table ready to go in lab journal for tomorrow.
Dimensional Analysis - algebra - how to simplify when dividing units, fractions, etc. Practice page for you to keep.
Some examples of the problems we tried:
Simplify: (ducks/pond) / ducks = 1/pond

(ducks/pond) * ducks = ducks^2/pond

((N*m)/s) / s = N*m

(J/s)/(J/s^2) = s

as well as some plain old number/fraction problems

We started our density lab today and set up lab journals:
1st page: Lab notebook rules & Table of Contents:
1 Use pen only.
2 Tape instructions to left hand page.
3 Write on Right Hand page only.
4 Name all labs
5 Write neatly
6. Draw a single line through anything to omit. Do not use White-Out.

Table of Contents(below): Lab name: Page#:

We started our density lab. See here for a lab sheet or here for a makeup of the entire lab (we will finish on Tuesday)
