| PRIORITY STANDARDS: |
Use mathematical concepts, principles, and expressions
to analyze data, develop models, understand patterns and relationships,
evaluate findings, and draw conclusions.
Identify and apply measurement techniques and consider
possible effects of measurement errors.
Use mathematics to express and establish scientific relationships
(e.g., scientific notation, vectors, dimensional analysis). |
| OBJECTIVES |
|
OBJECTIVE (SWBAT):
Write the names and abbreviations for the units used
in measurements of length, volume, and mass.
Use scientific notation to express large and small numbers.
Determine the number of significant figures in measured
numbers.
Adjust calculated answers to the correct number of significant
figures.
Use the numerical values of prefixes to write a metric
equality.
BIG IDEAS:
Units of measurement.
Scientific notation and significant numbers.
The prefixes of metric and SI units increase and decrease
the size of the units by powers of ten.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS (SWBATA):
How are quantities measured?
What are the units of measurement?
How is scientific notation used to express very large
and very small numbers?
How are significant numbers used to keep measurements
precise and accurate?
How are significant numbers used in calculations? |
