Excel Part 1

SI Units

Astronomical Clocks: 

tell the location of celestial bodies and gong once/hr.  

There is no 'time' on the dial 

& the clock moves using weights.

This clock, mounted in Prague's Old Town square, 

has parts dating from 1410AD.

In class activity:  9/2
All groups will have 20 minutes for this activity.
You will research your question below, and, find an image to submit to google classroom for your presentation.

Group #1: What does "SI Unit" mean? What is "SI"?  A very brief history of SI.

Group #2: What is a derived unit? Provide several examples.  Explain how these are different than the fundamental units.

Groups #3-9:
you will race to 1) determine the 7 fundamental units, and then, 2) find your instructor to 3) determine YOUR unit.  Then.  You will:
1) determine what your unit can be used to measure
2) what is its symbol

3) how is this unit is defined- might involve a *tiny* bit of history
4) find an everyday thing- how much of this unit?
(for example... a very much not SI, non-metric example... a student at Cleveland is 5.5 feet tall... Do NOT use metric prefixes before your unit... as in the height of Cleveland high school is 10decafeet tall...).

Welcome!

Great to see you here!

This is the site is where I'll post links to assignments, extra support sites when I find them, and a calendar of due dates.  You can subscribe to get updates & reminders when posts and new assignments are added.

First day! Physics survey.

Crankshaft mechanism;

in "Book of Ingenius Devices" 1206 AD

SURVEY!
I'll use this information to better fit this class to you.
I'll only share answers as 'group' data-
as in "most students in this class have taken Chemistry",
NOT 'Alejandro took Chemistry'.
