TEST TIPS:

Read the question, think of an answer before selecting a choice.

Read all answers carefully Eliminate answers you KNOW are wrong Go with your first “gut feeling” Skip a question if you’re stuck, and return to

it later Double check your answers when you’re

finished Mark an answer for every question If you have no idea, then choose the longest

answer, or letter C

Or not?

MEASUREMENT

The Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO)

In one of the all time great engineering mistakes, NASA’s partner, Lockheed Martin, used English Standard units, not the metric units used by NASA. The probe eventually hit the Martian atmosphere at the wrong angle and burned up.

7TH HOUR Background: (copy this)

Foxtail barley: Hordeum jubatum Indian Sweetclover: Melilotus indicus You calculate an average by taking the sum of all

measurements divided by the total number of measurements.

The larger a sample size, the more reliable the prediction

Question: Which is taller? (Hordeum jubatum or Melilotus indicus)

Hypothesis: I think Hordeum jubatum is taller because clover is usually small.

Constants: Time of day and year, group of people measuring, air temperature, humidity, weather

7TH HOUR Constants: Time of day and year, group of

people measuring, air temperature, humidity, weather

Materials: Clipboards/books, lab groups, metric rulers/meter sticks, lab handout, calculators, pencils

Procedure: Find 5 examples of your plants. Measure the plant height. One person will measure, and the other will write data. Calculate the average for your data. Make a bar graph of the averages
