End of Quarter 1



In quarter one we learned about a variety of things from acceleration and precision to independent and dependent variables, to qualitative and quantitative data, metric conversions, kinematics (study of motion), speed (scalar quantities) , vector quantities (velocity), to uniform acceleration, the three important graphing rules and many more that almost killed my brain.  My picture above illustrates one of the many lessons we have learned in this past quarter.  The picture on the left illustrates precision which is consistency of measurements (how many times you can hit the same spot).  The picture on the bottom right is an example of accuracy which is the closeness of a measurement to the actual value.  The picture on the top right is an example of low precision and low accuracy because the darts are not even close to the bulls eye and are not even in the same general area.  I enjoyed quarter one and am looking forward to the next three quarters.

  1. Great Job. I like how you still covered things that we did a long time ago. This is a good summary of what we did this quarter and how it relates to real life.

  2. Great job! I totally forgot about precision and accuracy. You're so smart!
