Unit 0.1 Key points
No computers are allowed for notes, notes will be scanned in however.
Tests are the most important part of your grade and will resemble the questions found on the AP test, quizzes are work some and will be surprises, lab write -ups and refections will be worth less with homework being worth the least.
Homework for the unit key points:
Scientific notation
Conversions involving more than one variable
Conversions
Unit 0.2 Key Points:
Scientific models are representations of things that we cannot easily observe.
Evaluate procedures and improve the investigation within your experiments.
When experimenting remember 3 points:
1. Have lots of data; 5-10 points
2. A large Range; 10x the smallest measurement
3. Repeated trails; 2-5
Human error is not an acceptable source of error. Instead a reaction time error or a parallax shift are acceptable. Limitations of equipment are also acceptable errors
Patterns, Lots of data, a large range and repeated trials assure confidence in predictions based off the data.
Unit 0.3 Key Points:
Use graphs and equations to make predictions.
Using a graph you see where the line of best fit matches up with the data you are trying to find.
When using an equation you set up the equation and enter the x value on the left side or your dependent variable and ten solve for y which would be the dependent variable in the experiment.
Linear equations show a steady slope.
Flat lines on a graph show that there is no change in the graph.
Curved lines on the graph signify exponential growth
Inverse graphs are when the y values decrease as the x increase.
