Assignment/ Assessment and Date

P1.1 C SM I can explain proper data collection techniques.

Be able to identify uncertainties in measurement andsuggest ways to correct for these uncertainties. (due tomeasuring device, technique, or event)Explain why it is useful to maximize range of data, takemany data points, and taking multiple measurements foreach data point.

P1.2 C SM I can represent data graphically and mathematically.

e able to label and scale a graph, plot data, draw a linear best fitline, find slope and y-intercept w/correct units.Understand that the appearance of a graph depends on the scalechosen and uncertainty in the data...dont be fooled into thinking

there is a certain pattern when there isnt or vice versa. Thinkabout how the appearance of the graph would change if the scalechanged, or if the data points graphed were at the ends of theirranges.

e able to write a math equation for a linear relationship - In thisequation, distinguish between a variable, number, and units.

P1.3 A SM I can use clear sentences to explain the meaning ofvarious parts of a graph for a scientific experiment.

What information does the y-intercept, slope of a graph tell usabout the experiment?

e able to make a written statement about a slopes number andunits - EX. The slope is 5 cm/yr, this means that...

P1.4 A SM I can make predictions using data depicted in agraph or math equation.

P1.5 A SM I can distinguish between an experiment and amodel and elaborate on factors that affect whether a modelis acceptable.

Includes why it is beneficial to represent a model in multipleways.

Not assessed: I can explain the steps of the modeling cyclewe will be following in class.
