of Project Lab Due
Objective and Standard
Students will outline the components of strong experimental design and give model examples of
each component.
Students will define appropriate tools of measurement and units of measurement for various
quantities.
Students will apply the rules for significant figures to perform simple calculations with the proper
level of precision.
Students will apply dimensional analysis rules to convert units in scale and between standard and
metric units.
Students will select appropriate tools of measurement and convert measurements to appropriate
units and level of precision.
Students will define intensive and extensive properties and give examples of each
characterization.
Students will utilize the components of strong experimental design to determine whether density
is intensive or extensive.
Students will organize data to construct unbiased tables and graphs that accurately represent
results.
Students will analyze quantitative results and experimental design to form conclusions about the
nature of density.
Students will apply the formula for calculating average to solve SAT average questions.
