Tuesday - Exam Tomorrow

Study!  Sorry for the late post today.  Remember, I will be assessing your understanding of what I tried to teach in the following ways:
Unit 1 Assessment categories: (I expect you to perform well in all of the following areas)
1. Why is SI important/valuable? What are drawbacks of SI? (vs other measurements)
Use SI prefixes to represent quantities and convert between measurements:
2. Express (some measurement of an item) in: a. (some SI unit) b. (different prefix, same unit) 

3. Determine the density of the object provided to you. Relate this item’s density/ characteristics relative to others.
4. Use tools to measure real items accurately and precisely, using appropriate SI units.
5. Design or critique an experiment using your understanding of science and experimentation.
6. Use density values to determine the volume or mass when one is unknown. Ex. Find mass of 1 liter of water.
7. Represent results from an experiment visually with an appropriate, correct, complete graph.
8. Use a graph to interpret data, explain observations, and predict other events.  (use slope to interpret and predict values outside the graph)

Review your notes and your returned homework; practice getting slope (and units) from a line of best fit.  See last week's post for instructions if you get lost.
