Before the Bell Rings • Collect all handouts. • DO NOT TRY TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS!!!! • Have out bellwork sheet. Be ready to begin when the bell rings. • Honors: Get a text book.
Bellwork • Today, scientists must search through scientific journals before performing an experiment or making methodical observations. Where would this step take place in a diagram of scientific methods? Why? • Answer in complete sentences!!
Factor Label Method • Please copy down the notes I tell you to copy down. :) • Thanks!
Conversion factors Conversion factors for 1 ft = 12 in There are almost an infinite number of conversion factors that include meters:
The steps to follow Now we are ready to solve problems using the factor label method. The steps involved are: • Write down the desired quantity/units • Equate the desired quantity to given quantity • Determine what conversion factors you can use (both universal and question specific) • Multiply given quantity by the appropriate conversion factors to eliminate units you don’t want and leave units you do want • Complete the math
Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km First write down the desired quantity
Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 mi Next, equate desired quantity to the given quantity
Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 mi Now we have to choose a conversion factor
1 km 0.621 mi 0.621 mi 1 km Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 mi What conversion factors are possible?
1 km 0.621 mi 0.621 mi 1 km Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 mi Pick the one that will allow you to cancel out miles
1 km 0.621 mi 0.621 mi 1 km Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47mi Pick the one that will allow you to cancel out miles
1 km 0.621 mi 0.621 mi 1 km Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47mi Multiply given quantity by chosen conversion factor
x 1 km 0.621mi Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47mi Multiply given quantity by chosen conversion factor
x 1 km 0.621mi Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47mi Cross out common factors
x 1 km 0.621 Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 Cross out common factors
x 1 km 0.621 Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 Are the units now correct?
x 1 km 0.621 Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 Yes. Both sides have km as units.
x 1km 0.621 Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) # km = 47 Yes. Both sides have km as units. #km
x 1 km 0.621 Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) = 75.7 km # km = 47 Now finish the math.
x 1 km 0.621 Factor label example Q - How many kilometers are in 47 miles? (note: 1 km = 0.621 miles) = 75.7 km # km = 47 The final answer is 75.7 km
