Test on Measurement, Scientific Notation, Graphs, Unit Conversions, Metric Prefixes

When students were done, I put a data table on the board and asked students to graph the data. Do you get a linear trend? No
We then manipulated the data by squaring one of the variables. Students replotted the data and did get a linear trend. Students drew a best fit straight line through the origin and found the slope. Using the equation of the straight line though the origin, y = m * x, they got the relationship between the variables.

Hand out RA 1.1 - due Mon
