SMART Goals – Critique (5 min) Pair up with a person you haven’t met already

Share your half-sheet goals

Are your partner’s goals SMART? Help them to improve it in one way! Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely

Turn in Homework (1 min) Half-Sheet

Side One should be about you Side Two should have your two goals

Investigation (12 min) Measurement With Bodies Scavenger Hunt!

Try to get as many UNIQUE measurement as possible Use specific increments of your BODY

You must use a DIFFERENT type of measurement for each one! Cannot use number of hands for both your height and your

armspan Movement does NOT count

Cannot say something is 15 strides long You need NUMBER and UNIT for every answer

10 minutes to get as many as possible. Will be turned in.

mile (mi)

U1D1: Measurement

US Customary Units for Length Reading a Ruler for Inches

U1D1: Measurement

US Customary Units for Mass

1 t = 2000 lb

U1D1: Measurement

US Customary Units for Time 1 min = 60 s 1 h = 60 min 1 d = 24 h 1 yr = 365.25 d

How can you have a fourth of a day?

U1D1: Measurement

US Customary Units for Volume 1 pt = 2 c 1 qt = 2 pt 1 gal = 4 qt

U1D1: Measurement

SI Units Length: 1 m ≈ 1 yd (US) or guitar length Mass: 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lbs (US) or mass of pineapple

U1D1: Measurement Using a ruler for cm

U1D1: Measurement

SI Units Time: 1 s is about the time it takes to blink 7 times Volume: 1L is about half a 2L bottle of soda

U1D1: Measurement Using a graduated cylinder for mL

Always read at the bottom of the meniscus (curved surface)

U1D1: Measurement

1 mL = 0.001 L,1 kg = 1000 g, 1das = 10 s, 1 cm = 0.01 m

Break 7 minute break Late/Not in Seat/Not Ready = Tardy!

Lab Lab Notebook Explanation

Everyone must write down there own data! (i.e. give everyone a chance to do the measurement)

Goal Reflection How did today help to further your SMART

goals?
