Calculating the Time, Distance and Velocity of Cars on State Street lab today! (note the specificity of the title....)

We talked a lot about what goes into good data collection, a great data table, etc.

Things to remember: 

--TITLE! Make sure your lab has a specific title--it should tell what you measured and found as a result.

--LABELS--make sure you tell us what you measured in, etc.


--SI System (more on that later)

--Accuracy and precision (more on the difference later)--make sure you are trying to be as accurate as possible

--Formulas and calculations--show what formulas you use(d) and provide the calculations you computed to get your results

Upcoming: 
Math Review
Significant Digits
