Homework for Thursday, September 19th

Thank you for a fine class; one of my goals, besides learning the scientific method, and having a fair amount of fun,  is that you learn to work as a team with purpose and focus and cooperation.  That takes a lot of practice, but I think you are going to be a great class.  It was awesome that you were able to wrap up and clean up so quickly, and be ready for the next class, like soldiers at attention.

You have the handout from class, Lab Report Guidelines.  Follow those instructions to make a rough draft of your first lab report.  Bring that to class and we will talk about how to make it better.  Typed is preferred; print out two copies, one for me and one to keep.  Try your best, and expect to make it better as time goes on.

Reading from your Textbook:  Finish section 2.2 on measurements, and read section 2.3 on graphing.  Finish the pages from the textbook review handout.

How should you spend your time?  I suggest an hour on Tuesday while the experiment is still fresh, to do as good as you can on the lab report, and then it might take about an hour on Wednesday to read and fill in the 3 remaining worksheets.  I am interested in finding out how long these things really take, so make a note of it somewhere.
