Section 1.1 Why study Physics??? Study of… matter…energy…and it’s
behavior.

Section 1.3
Importance of Units V=volume and V=volts
expected to know which within the context of the problem.
Ratios and Proportions Practice problems Ex. 1.1 Practice problem 1.1
and Checkpoint 1.3
Section 1.4
Scientific Notation and the dreaded…

Practice problems A)Worksheet B) Ex. 1.2; practice
prob. 1.2 Ex. 1.3; Ex. 1.4
Section 1.5
Units a) Metric system… power of 10 b) Why Metric??? c) Conversion factors example… 12 in to 1 ft. Practice Problems Ex. 1.5; practice problem 1.5 Ex. 1.6; practice problem 1.6 Checkpoint 1.5
Section 1.6
Practice problems… Ex. 1.7; practice problem 1.7 Ex. 1.8; practice problem 1.8 Checkpoint 1.6

Section 1.7
Approximations How do we approximate? Question… How many blades of grass
are there on the football field? a) Fermi Quiz b) Ex. Problem 1.9; Practice
problem 1.9
Section 1.9
Graphs a) independent variable b) dependent variable Things to remember… 1) large and neat- why large? use at least a ½ sheet of
paper 2) label with meaningful title
Continued
3) Straight edge to draw best line fit
4) determine best fit by large range of the graph. Use values from best fit line to get slope.
5) Use algebra to manipulate a non-linear relationship
6) An “outliner” should be investigated. Perhaps more data close to that point.
Continued
7) You can use dimensional analysis to analyze slope equations.
Practice problems.. Ex. 1.10; practice problem 1-10
