Progress Reports!
Any student who was given a progress report yesterday, Oct.6, should have gone over it with their parents, had it signed, and returned it to us today. If they did so, they will receive a 100 for the first quiz grade of the second 5 weeks. Tomorrow, it'll be worth a 75. Friday, it'll only be worth a 65. After that, the grade will be a 0.
Measurement
Yesterday, we began talking about the importance of observations in science and how hard it can be to communicate some of those observations to someone else. We discussed early attempts to do so, some more recent efforts, and the stubborn unwillingness of the United States to conform to those efforts.
Today, we examine the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative measurements. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both types as well as which type is easier to communicate to others and, therefore, more useful in science.
