  1. Journal 8/29/14 What are units for? What kind of problems can come from using the wrong units? Objective Due Today To refresh on the kinds of units we use in physics Homework week 2

  2. Tools of Physics Today we’re going to be doing a lab on metric measurement. There are 5 stations. At each station is a slip of paper. Answer the questions on the slip for each station. This is a lab, so please write it up nice and neat on a write up sheet. Also, note that we don’t need to have every section of our write up. We’ll quickly discuss which sections aren’t necessary!
