Today in Chemistry class we completed the pre-test for our measurement unit. I did not know the majority of the concepts on the test. However, I think I will be able to perform all problems correctly once I know what certain terms mean and how to convert measurements. Two concepts that kept appearing on the test were significant figures and converting measurements, such as miles to km. Below, I found two measurement conversion charts that I can look back on when I study. One converts only length and the other converts a variety of measurements that will come in handy when I'm converting measurements for my Last Meal Project. In addition, I included a couple websites explaining what significant figures are and how to determine which digits are significant in a measurement. The second website also has practice problems for adding and subtracting significant figures.

Lily, I really like your use of the metric conversion chart in this post! The chart is very helpful in dimensional analysis and putting numbers in the proper scientific notation. I found these conversions helpful in working on my Last Meal Conversion project as well!
ReplyDeleteLilly, the conversion pictures you included are super helpful to reference! Thank you for adding them. I will definitely refer to these as we continue the year.
