Unit 1 Objectives: Pg 10 • I can explain the importance of standard units of measurement • I can predict the correct unit of measurement for different objects • I can record numbers in scientific notation • I can compare/contrast sizes of objects based on scientific notation • I can explain how ancient & modern peoples have marked the passage of time

  14. T-P-S • For 1 min, SILENTLY think about how you would record time if watches had not been invented • For 1 min, share with YOUR GROUP • For 1 min, we will discuss as class

  15. Video: Pg 11 • Show “Time, Stonehenge, & Sundials” • As video plays, answer questions IN YOUR NOTEBOOK • Class grade: not answering, asleep = 0%

  18. Journal Entry: Pg 13 • Write an advertisement for a time-telling device that includes: • How do you measure time? • Will you look stylish or be simple? • What unique functions will you have? • What extreme conditions can it be used in? • How much will you cost and why? • Can draw a picture, but MUST USE COMPLETE SENTENCES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS

  19. September 5, 2012

  20. BEFORE BELL • Turn in PARENT SURVEY • Pick up notebook piece of paper • Have a seat • Begin WARM-UP WHEN BELL RINGS

  21. Warm-Up • Take out notes from yesterday. Write a complete sentence on the following • Answer the following on notebook paper • What is all time based on? • What objects did ancient peoples use to mark the passage of time? • How do we mark the passage of time today? • Make a list of all of the ways you could travel across Ms. M’s classroom (e.g: walking)

  22. Announcements • Bring in flashlight by 9/6 – Extra Credit • Exam FRIDAY on: • Scientific notation • Ranking objects based on size • Explaining how ancient AND modern people have recorded time • Calculating speed, distance, time (cover today & tom)

  23. Article Review: Pg 12 • 2 options: • Walk around and take notes • Read article and answer questions • INDEPENDENT, After 15 mins you will have 10 mins to share with group mates • QUIZ TO FOLLOW!!!

  24. Questions for “How Accurate is My Watch” • How did early humans keep track of time in EACH the following years: • 1300s • 1600s • 1850s • Why was it an issue to have “local times”? • How did we get the 4 time zones? • How does watch accuracy vary? • How do you keep your watch accurate?

  25. Quiz 1 • Need half sheet of notebook paper • # 1-5 • Can use notes • If talk, automatic 0!

  26. Quiz • What is the symbol for Capricorn? • What are a few characteristics for Gemini? • What is one reason time may be inaccurate? • How did scientists make atomic clocks more accurate? • What atom are atomic clocks based on?

  27. Speed Lab: COPY on Pgs 15-16 • Purpose: To determine the fastest way to travel across Ms. Ms classroom • You will work in groups of 2-3 (choose someone who you don’t know well) • Procedure: • Choose UP TO 5 methods of travel & write down • Choose a distance • Measure distance & write down • Record how long it takes to get to a certain distance (3 times) • Figure out what is fastest way to travel

  28. Questions to Answer • Which was the fastest way to travel? • What EVIDENCE tells you this was the fastest way? • Which person was the fastest? • What EVIDENCE tells you this was the fastest person? • Based on this lab, see if you can come up with a definition for speed

  29. September 6, 2012

  30. Warm-Up: COPY & ANSWER, PG 16 • Use your notes from the speed lab yesterday to predict the following: • Devon takes 5 s to skip 10 m. Will it take longer or shorter for him to skip 20 m? EXPLAIN • Now Devon takes 8 s to skip 16 m. Will it take longer or shorter for him to skip 2 m? EXPLAIN • Ahdonnica notices it takes Sarah 13 s to crabwalk 3 m but only 4 s to run this distance. If she could race against herself, which “Sarah” would win.

  31. Announcements • Bring in flashlight by 9/7 – Extra Credit • Exam FRIDAY on: • Scientific notation • Ranking objects based on size • Explaining how ancient AND modern people have recorded time • Calculating speed, distance, time (cover today & tom)

  32. Notes: Pg 17 • Speed: a measure of how far an object travels in a given amount of time • If you increase time, you increase distance traveled • If you decrease time, you decrease distance traveled • Equation: s = d/t

  33. Notes: Pg 17 • Symbols: • s= speed • d= distance • t= time

  34. Units for Distance: Pg 17 • How do we record distance? • How do we record time? • How do we record speed?

  35. Concept Application: Copy & Answer • Maria and Jade race down the basketball court. Maria sprints at 2 m/s and Jade sprints at 1 m/s. If Maria takes 5 s to reach the end of the court, how long does Jade take? • Devon hops across the classroom 3x faster than George. If they race for 5 s, how much further ahead will Devon be than George?

  36. Concept Application, Pt. 2: COPY & ANSWER • You travel 100 m in 10 s. How far will you travel in 5s? • You travel 400 ft in 30 s. How far will you travel in 90s? • Write your own example

  37. Solving Speed Problems: Pg 18 • Read the problem • Find key information (What KNOW, What WANT TO KNOW) • Choose an Equation • Solve using algebra (UNITS ON ANSWER!)

  38. Key Words: Pg 18

  39. Guided Practice: Whiteboards • Watch as Ms. M solves this example • If a spaceship travels at 12.0 km/hr, how far does it travel in two hours?

  40. Guided Practice: Whiteboards • Let’s try together • If a spaceship travels for 5 hrs at 2500 km/hr, how far does it travel?

  41. Guided Practice: Whiteboards • You teach a partner • Suppose Shamarick is driving from Charlotte to Atlanta for a hair convention. If he travels at an average speed of 50 mph and the distance is 250 miles, how long will the trip take?

  42. Guided Practice: Whiteboards • Your partner teaches you • Veronica is driving cross-country at an average speed of 60mph. If she drives for 12 hours how far will does she get?

  43. Student Practice: Pg 19 • Independently SETUP & SOLVE problems 1-6 on your worksheet • Time Limit: 15 min

  44. Review for Exam: Pg 19 • Complete problems on the back of your worksheet as a review for your exam • Time Limit: 10 min.

  45. Unit Conversion: Pg 20 • A way to change from one unit of measurement to another • Example: If it takes 1 x 1013 days to reach mars, how long is this in years?

  46. Steps to Unit Conversion: Pg 20 1. Find out what Unit you are starting with 2. Find out what Unit you want 3a. For Metric Conversions, Count # of Spaces 3b. For Nonmetric Conversions, choose Conversion Factor 4. Convert unit by multiplying or dividing

  47. Conversion Factors: Pg 20 • 1 in = 2.54 cm • 1 mi = 5, 280 ft • 1 yd = 3 ft • 100 cm = 1 m • 1000 mm = 1 m • 1 km = 1000 m • 1 hr = 60 min • 1 min = 60 s • 1 km = .62 mi

  48. Unit Conversion: Pg 20 • How do you go from one unit to the next? • Units of Distance: • Remember: K H Da B d c m • “King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk”
