DAY 8
Essential Questions:
1. How do I do math in physics?
#GOALS: SWBAT...
1. FIll in gaps in understanding of sigfigs/rounding/sci notation
2. Correctly use the mathematical tools needed to make measurements
WARM-UP:
1. Define: Accuracy
2. Define: Precision
3. Make a Venn Diagram for Accuracy and Precision
CLASSWORK
1. How Am I Graded?

2. #008A: Enrichment & Corrective Instruction
One of the pillars of Mastery Learning is the idea that concepts not fully learned can be revisited by the student for another attempt at learning (corrective instruction), and that students with an advanced understanding can grow their knowledge through higher level activities (enrichment)
Corrective Instruction: If you scored a 3.5 or below on yesterday's quiz, you should choose the appropriate corrective instruction from below, take notes and answer questions/solve problems, write a sentence or two explaining what your mistake was, and how you understand the material differently now, show it to me, and retake version 2 of the quiz at lunch today, or early next week.
Scientific Notation: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/pre-algebra-exponents-radicals/pre-algebra-scientific-notation/v/scientific-notation-old
Significant Figures: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic-home/arith-review-decimals/arithmetic-significant-figures-tutorial/v/significant-figures
Rounding: Scroll to the bottom and read about "Method 2" (if you missed problem #6): https://www.nde-ed.org/GeneralResources/SigFigs/SigFigs.htm
Enrichment: If you scored above 3.5, you have options. You can choose to do a quick activity from the Corrective Instruction to fill in the gap (you didn't get a 4, after all), and then boost your knowledge with a challenging activity.
College Level Sci Notation, Metric Prefix, Unit Conversions, etc

2. #008B: Lab #1: Introduction to Measurement
If you're absent, here's a LINK
We will finish this in class Tuesday after Tuesday's conversions quiz
3. Thinking about Next Week: Do you know how to properly set up conversions using the cancellation method? If not, rewatch the videos and look at notes

LEARNING AT HOME (HW)
1. Prepare for Tuesday's quiz on conversions. Review notes and the Flipping Physics video above
2. Complete Page 1-2 of Lab 1: Intro to Measurement
OLD STUFF BELOW - DISREGARD
Warm-Up
1. What is the symbol for acceleration?
2. Can acceleration be negative, or only positive?
For each of the following P-t diagrams, copy the image into your warm-up. Then...
3. label each diagram as either: positive acceleration, negative acceleration, or constant acceleration. Assume movement towards the right is positive.
4. Directly underneath each diagram. add a position (dot) diagram, and a motion (vector arrows) diagram. An example of these is to the left of the projector screen.
5. How can you tell from a P-t diagram that an objects velocity is changing?
CLASSWORK
1. #007B (continued): Penny Acceleration Lab
Hypothesis
Data Collection
Results
Take a photo of your experimental setup
Tomorrow, we will discuss #007C: Speed, Average Velocity, Instantaneous Velocity Notes. Make sure you bring those notes to class...if you didn't do it, here's the instructions again.
The goal here is for you to memorize and then translate some information about speed and velocity. By doing so, I hope you'll understand the similarities and differences between instantaneous and average velocity, between speed and velocity, and be able to describe some of those factoids out loud, with confidence. Here we go...
a. you'll need a notes page in your binder. The title is in bold above
b. Group: in your group, each person will choose one fact, similarity, or difference, and read it out loud. Don't be super loud. We don't all need to hear you ;-). Listeners should either check the item off on their notes if they have the same bit of info already written down, or add it to their list if they don't. The idea here is that you as a listener have to compare what you have written, and how you interpreted it, to how someone else interpreted it. This helps improve your comprehension.
d. Whole class: We will repeat "c" as a class
e. So, what's the reading??? CH2, pg 43-47
HOMEWORK:
1. Tomorrow we will discuss your lab write-up, which will be due Tuesday. Bring your lab document to class.
2. #008A: Tomorrow we will also also practice walking through position-time diagrams. You'll need to be able to demonstrate what a position-time graph means, and we'll do that by having you walk (just like in the HW video)

Watch the video, and answer the EdPuzzle Questions: LINK 2
3. #009A: Warm-Up Check is tomorrow. Including Friday's, you should have 9 warm-ups.
