measurement and uncertainty

Resources

One of the primary tools that we use in Chemistry and Physics is mathematics. In this very quick preliminary unit, we will review the useful math required for success in G10 Science.

Lesson 1 - Measurement and Numeracy Revision

Lesson Resources

The key to unlocking your inner math-science nerd is: practice, practice, and a bit more practice.

The workbook to the right contains all of the information and many of the practice problems that you will need for success.

When you finish a section in the workbook, you may check your answers here.

Note: Trying and failing is the key to unlocking success...not copying the solutions.

Lesson 2 - introduction to graphing

Logger Pro

We will set up Logger Pro in preparation for some data collection

If you don't already have it downloaded, please do so using the following links:

Open the file and enter the password: experiment

Please download the appropriate update file from here.

Excel

Ensure you have Excel downloaded on your computer. You have access to a full version through the school.

Lesson Resources

In this lesson, we will use Logger Pro to graph and analyze some data sets. Follow along in the Introduction to graphing pack on the right.

Homework

Copy and Paste all 4 graphs you created on Logger Pro into a Word/Google Doc . For each graph: include an appropriate and detailed heading.
Chose any of the 4 datasets and plot in a similar fashion in Excel. Copy and Paste it into the same Word/Google Doc

*you should have 5 graphs in total, 4 from logger pro, 1 from excel. Each should have a header.
