Measurement+&+Graphing

Measurement, Graphing & Scientific Process :
In this unit the first focus will be on using appropriate graphs to present the data gathered including the use of mean, median and mode. The second focus will be on measurement tools and equipment including developing the skills to competently use them whenever the situation requires them. The third focus will be the implementation of the scientific method and written reports of scientific results.


 * Graphing and data (pie/circle - for graphing parts of a whole, bar/column - comparison, line - data over time and trends)
 * Mean, Median, Mode, Range
 * Linear Measurement (ruler; mm ---> km)
 * Mass (triple-beam balance; mg ---> kg)
 * Area & Volume (graduated cylinder; displacement & formula methods)
 * Temperature (thermometer; °Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin)
 * Additional Lab Equipment (beakers, flasks, Bunsen burner, etc.)
 * Lab Safety
