    Unit One: What You Need To Know at First!

    Here are the steps to solve this example: * Total number of questions = 35 * Number of questions you got correct = 25 * Percentage of questions you got correct = (Correct/Total) * 100 = (25/35) * 100 = 71% * Percent error = (Actual - Expected) / Expected * 100 * Expected = 100% (perfect score) * Actual = 71% * Percent error = (100% - 71%) / 100% * 100 = 29% / 100 * 100 = 29% So the percent error is 29%

    What you need to know at first!


    Observations
    • Interaction of one or
    more of your senses
    with the
    environment or your
    surroundings.
    1. Sight
    2. Hearing
    3. Touch
    4. Taste
    5. Smell
    Observations Continued
    • Senses are limited so
    we use instruments to
    help improve our
    powers of
    observation.
    • Examples:
    – Telescopes
    – Scales
    – Rulers
    Inferences
    • Interpretation of one or more observations
    – Includes proposing explanations or reaching
    conclusions, like taking a guess
    – Example:
    • The scratches on the bed rock were caused by a
    glacier
    Prediction
    • Inference based on
    observations that
    indicate what will
    happen in the future
    – Example:
    • Weather predictions
    (the only job that you
    can be wrong more
    then right and not get
    fired!)
    Classification
    • The grouping of objects together based on
    common characteristics (observable
    properties)
    – Example:
    • Shape
    • Color
    Measurement
    • A way of describing greater accuracy,
    observations using numbers
    • Contain at least one of three basic
    dimensional quantities
    – Time
    – Length
    – Mass
    • Must contain correct units ex: 5 cm
    Forms of Measurement
    • Metric (SI) the one that everyone else uses but
    Americans.
    • English: what we use

    Unit Metric English


    Second, minute,
    Time Same as metric
    hour, day ,year
    Millimeter,
    Length centimeter, Inch, foot, mile
    meter, kilometer
    Mass gram, kilogram Ounce, pound
    Time
    • Instant in which
    something happens
    or period during which
    change occurs
    • “time of day” which
    deals with the
    apparent motion of
    the sun in the sky
    Length
    • Measure of the distance between 2 points
    Mass
    • Amount of matter in an
    object, mass never
    changes
    • MASS DOES NOT
    EQUAL WEIGHT
    • Weight is a measure of
    the pull of the earth’s
    gravity on a quantity of
    matter (body) If you travel
    into space and escape
    Earth’s gravity, you would
    become “weightless”
    Properties of matter that use some
    mathematical combination of basic
    dimensional quantities

    1. Volume
    2. Density
    3. Pressure
    4. Speed
    Volume
    • Amount of space an
    object takes up
    – Ex.
    • V(of a rectangle) = length x
    width x height
    – V= L x W x H cm3
    – Can also find volume
    by seeing how much
    water an object
    displaces.
    Density
    • Property of matter that combines mass and
    volume
    – D = mass/volume
    – D = m/v (g/cm3)
    Pressure
    • Measure of force, or weight on a given
    area
    • Example: newton’s/meter² or lb./in²
    Speed
    • Measure of rate of motion
    • Example: meter/sec. or miles/hour
    Percent Deviation (Error)
    • Equation located on
    front cover of
    E.S.R.T.
    • Measures how wrong
    a measurement is.
    • Caused by faulty
    instruments, careless
    observations
    % Error Example
    • A test has 35 questions on it. You get 25
    correct. What is your % error (deviation)?
