The document discusses an upcoming science class that will focus on measurement, including a scavenger hunt, objectives about measuring lengths, understanding measurement's importance in science, and relative sizes using scientific notation. It also references warm-up questions on measurement in experiments, announcements, and a wrap-up discussing an amazing person and what was learned.

1. Warm-Up, 08.27.2009 (15 mins) Why is it important to understand measurement when using the scientific method? Provide three examples of measurements you would take while performing different experiments in science class. When performing an experiment, would you typically spend most of your time measuring the control, the independent variable, or the dependant variable? Why?

2. Announcements Measurement Scavenger Hunt is due today – if we didn’t finish yesterday, we will spend time finishing it today.

3. Today’s Objectives Students will be able to: Understand how to measure and estimate lengths Become more aware of linear measurements in the world and communicate better about the significance of these measurements. Understand the importance of measurement in science. Understand the relative sizes of things using scientific notation.

4. Measurement, continued Can I has yardstick???

5. Bill Nye le type de la science

6. Missed stuff from last class…

7. Metric Mania Practice

8. Gum Scientific Method Activity

9. Current events explanation

10. Wrap-Up Who do you think the most amazing person alive right now is? Why do you think they are so great? What would you do if you ever met this person? What did we learn today? What is due next class?
