Physical Science 20 - March 2

In period 2 today, I checked Assignments C15 and C17.  We then started into learning about Math and some of the skills we will need from math to excel in science.  This involved looking at units and the metric system as well as learning about how to count and use significant figures in calculations. We just learned the rule for when you mutliply and divide numbers.

In Period 4 today, we finished our lesson on Math by learning about the rule for adding and subtracting numbers.  We also learned a different method for converting units.  This method is called dimensional analysis.  It is more difficult at the start but as soon as you master the method it makes conversions much simpler.  Students finished by working on the Metric Conversion Homework handout.  We will go over this tomorrow.  This method just takes much practice.
