2. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Organizing your Physics Notebook • You need a graph-ruled notebook for this class. • This is where you will take your notes, complete your textbook homework, and complete your lab write-ups. • I will be collecting your notebooks for grading so they cannot be shared with other classes.

3. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler How to take Cornell notes: When taking notes in the Cornell format, you will need a ruler to divide each sheet of paper into several sections. Your notes – whether from lecture or from the book reading – will be in this format. Each section has a specific purpose.

4. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Start by drawing a horizontal line across the bottom portion of your paper. This line should be approximately one-fourth of the way up the page, about two inches from the bottom. Later, you will use this section to summarize your notes.

5. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Next draw a vertical line down the left section of your paper. This line should be approximately two and a half inches from the left edge of the page. This will be used as the section for reviewing your notes.

6. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Leave the largest section of the page as the area for taking notes from the lecture or reading. This section on the right of the page should leave you plenty of space to record important points

7. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Take notes in the largest section of the page. While listening to a lecture, or reading a text, take notes only in the right-hand section of the page. Include any information that the teacher writes on a board or shows in a powerpoint.

8. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Use notes to listen or read actively. Whenever you come across an important point, make a note of it. If you are taking notes from a lecture, listen out for points that are emphasized or repeated, as these are likely important. These tips hold true if you are reading a text and come across statements like these examples. Textbooks will often put key terms in bold type, for example, or restate important information in graphs or charts.

9. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Make a note of any questions that arise while you are listening or reading. If there is something you do not understand, or want to know more about, jot this down in your notes. These questions help clarify what you are absorbing, and will be useful for studying later.

10. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Summarize key points. As soon as possible after the lecture or reading, pull out the main ideas or key facts from the right-hand section. Write very condensed versions in the left hand column -- go for key words or short phrases that communicate the most important information or concepts. Reviewing course material within a day or so of the lecture or reading greatly improves retention. Underlining main ideas in the right-hand column may help you identify them. You can also try highlighting or color-coding, if you're a very visual learner.

11. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Write potential questions in the left column. Working from your notes on the right, think about questions that might appear on an exam, and write these on the left. Later on, these can be used as a study tool. You can write higher level questions that are not answered in the notes, like "Why did...?," or "Predict what would happen if...?," or "What were the implications of...?” These can deepen your learning of the material.

12. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Read your notes. Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam. You can underline or highlight the most important parts as you review, if you prefer. Use your notes to test your knowledge. Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension. You can also ask a friend to quiz you on your notes using the left column, and you can do the same for them.

13. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Summarize the main ideas in the bottom section of the page.  This helps to clarify all of the information you have recorded. Putting the gist of the material in your own words is a good way to check your comprehension. If you can summarize the page of notes, it means you are well on your way to understanding the material. You might ask yourself, "How would I explain this information to someone else?” Just a few sentences is usually fine for the summary of a page. Include any important formulas, equations, diagrams, etc. in the summary section, if appropriate. If you have trouble summarizing any part of the material, use your notes to identify where you should take a further look or ask for more information

15. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Units • A unit is a specifically defined measurement. Units describe both the type of measurement, and a base amount. • For example, 1 cm and 1 inch are both lengths. They are used to measure the same dimension, but the specific amounts are different. (In fact, 1 inch is exactly 2.54cm.) • Every measurement is a number multiplied by its units. In algebra, the term “3x” means “3 times x”. Similarly, the distance “75m” means “75 times the distance 1 meter”. The number and the units are both necessary to describe any measurement. You always need to write the units. • Saying that “12 is the same as 12g” would be as ridiculous as saying “12 is the same as 12×3”. • The metric system is a set of units of measurement that is based on natural quantities (on Earth) and powers of 10.

Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Units • The metric system has 7 fundamental “base” units: • meter (m): length • kilogram (kg): mass (even though “kilo” is actually a prefix, mass is defined • based on the kilogram, not the gram) • second (s): time • Kelvin (K): temperature • mole (mol): amount of substance • ampere (A): electric current • candela (cd): intensity of light

17. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Units • Each of these base units is defined in some way that could be duplicated in a laboratory anywhere on Earth-except for the kilogram, which is defined by a physical object that is locked in a vault in the village of Sevres, France. • All other metric units are combinations of one or more of these seven. • For example: Velocity (speed) is a change in distance over a period of time, which would have units of distance/time (m/s).

Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Metric Conversions The metric system uses prefixes to indicate multiplying a unit by a power of ten. There are prefixes for powers of ten from 10−18 to 1018. The most commonly used prefixes are:

19. Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Metric Conversions • These prefixes can be used in combination with any metric unit, and they work just like units. “35cm” means “35 times c times m” or “(35)(1/100)(m)”. If you multiply this out, you get 0.35m. • Any metric prefix is allowed with any metric unit. • For example, standard atmospheric pressure is 101325Pa. This same number could be written as 101.325kPa or 0.101325MPa. • There is a popular geek joke based on the ancient Greek heroine Helen of Troy. • She was said to have been the most beautiful woman in the world, and she was an inspiration to the entire Trojan fleet. She was described as having “the face that launched a thousand ships.” Therefore a milliHelen must be the amount of beauty required to launch one ship.

Date: 7/30/2018 Unit 0: Inquiry Learning Goal: Design an appropriate protocol (written plan of action) for testing a hypothesis.  Physics - Ms. Kohler Metric Conversions • If you need to convert from one prefix to another, the rule of thumb is that if the prefix gets larger, then the number needs to get smaller and vice-versa. • For example, suppose we need to convert 0.25mg to μg. • The prefix “m” means 10−3 and “μ” means 10−6. The prefix is getting smaller by 3 decimal places, so the number needs to get bigger by 3 decimal places. The answer is therefore 250μg. • You can think of the rule in the following way: • 0.25mg =(0.25)(0.001)g= 0.00025g • 250μg=(250)(0.000001) g = 0.00025g • As you can see, when the prefix got smaller, the number had to get bigger in order for the value to remain equal to 0.00025g.
