Metric Doodle Notes METRICS Cornell Doodle Notes Sampler TEACHER NOTES These Cornell Doodle Notes combine two effective note-taking strategies and can be used to introduce or review the metric system. The notes are organized by an Essential Question at the top, Topic Questions along the left column, details/pictures in the right column, and a Sum It Up page at the end for students to practice their skills. They begin with a section that shows why the Imperial system is quite silly (especially for science!). Then, they present that 10 is the ‘magic number’ of the Metric system, and proceed to explain the S.I. Units of mass, length, fluid volume, and time, the prefixes, a mnemonic device to remember the prefixes, and then to explain how to convert between metric units. Cornell Notes are a note-taking strategy in which topic questions are written in a narrow left-hand column and definitions, explanations, and diagrams are filled in in the right-hand column. At the bottom of Cornell Notes, there is typically a section included for reflection on the lesson’s main points. See the example to the right. Doodle Notes (or Sketch Notes) are another note- taking strategy for which pictures and graphics activate the visual pathways of the brain, which helps with retention of information when compared to standard note-taking. Your visual learners will really benefit from seeing and coloring in the pictures aside the main points of the notes! My architect husband drew the graphics for these notes. We hope your students like them! Doodle Notes is a registered trademark used with permission. See DoodleNotes.org for more details.

It depends how you’d like your students to use these notes. They can be printed one-sided and folded up into an interactive notebook, or you can print them double-sided and have students keep them in binders/folders. If you print them double-sided, this is what I suggest doing: o In the print settings on Adobe/Reader, keep the “Auto Orientation” button selected o Click “FLIP ON LONG EDGE” o Type in the page numbers that you’d like to print and the number of copies Printing the notes this way will avoid your students having to rotate their paper when they go to the next side. Instead, they will flip and the left and right columns will be in the same place! Metrics!

  • English Customary Weights and Measures
    English Customary Weights and Measures Distance In all traditional measuring systems, short distance units are based on the dimensions of the human body. The inch represents the width of a thumb; in fact, in many languages, the word for "inch" is also the word for "thumb." The foot (12 inches) was originally the length of a human foot, although it has evolved to be longer than most people's feet. The yard (3 feet) seems to have gotten its start in England as the name of a 3-foot measuring stick, but it is also understood to be the distance from the tip of the nose to the end of the middle finger of the outstretched hand. Finally, if you stretch your arms out to the sides as far as possible, your total "arm span," from one fingertip to the other, is a fathom (6 feet). Historically, there are many other "natural units" of the same kind, including the digit (the width of a finger, 0.75 inch), the nail (length of the last two joints of the middle finger, 3 digits or 2.25 inches), the palm (width of the palm, 3 inches), the hand (4 inches), the shaftment (width of the hand and outstretched thumb, 2 palms or 6 inches), the span (width of the outstretched hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, 3 palms or 9 inches), and the cubit (length of the forearm, 18 inches). In Anglo-Saxon England (before the Norman conquest of 1066), short distances seem to have been measured in several ways.

  • Friday, October 6, 2017 1 Writing Methods to Do Unit Conversions
    INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SCIENCE I LAB 5: CONVERTING UNITS Friday, October 6, 2017 1 Writing methods to do unit conversions 1.1 The units The core of this lab assignment will be unit conversions—translating a measurement in one unit into some other unit. In particular, we will use a few different measurements of length, and a few of time. Here are the units we will use: • Measurements of length: Unit name Conversion meter (m) The canonical unit foot (ft) 0:3048 m 1 inch (in) 12 ft yard (yd) 3 ft smoot 1:7018 m 1 barleycorn 3 in • Measurements of time: Unit name Conversion second (s) The canonical unit minute (m) 60 s 1 jiffy 60 s 10 helek 3 s 1.2 Getting started Now that you have some units with which to work, it is time to start a new program for yourself. Specifically: 1. Create a directory for this project, change into it, and grab source code: $ mkdir lab5 $ cd lab5 $ wget -nv --trust-server-names https://goo.gl/MbFqMC 1 2. Open the new source code file in Emacs: $ emacs Converter.java & You will see, in this source code file, the beginnings of a program named Converter. It con- tains, for starters, two complete methods named convertInchToFoot and convertFootToInch. Given the conversion factor from one to the other, you should, as these methods show, easily be able also to use these to perform the inverse conversions. Your first task: For each of the conversions listed above, write a method to perform that conver- sion and its inverse (e.g., inches to feet and feet to inches).

  • The History and Mathematics of Conversions
    THE HISTORY AND MATHEMATICS OF CONVERSIONS BY JAMES D. NICKEL THE METRIC SYSTEM I f you live in the United States of America, you have to work with two systems of measure. These two sys- tems are called (1) British Imperial system of measure and (2) Metric system of measure. In the British sys- Item, with its long and storied history, there are many sub-systems where different bases are used. The pint- gallon system is base 8, the inches-foot system is base 12, the yard-foot system is base 3, the week-day system is base 7, the month-year system is base 12, the yard-mile system is base 1760, and the foot-mile system is base 5280. In contrast, the Metric system of measurement is, like most national currencies, decimalized (base 10). As we have already noted, it was developed in France in the late 18th century.1 Since the 1960s the International System of Units (SI) (Système International d'Unités in French, hence “SI”) has been the internationally recognized standard metric system. Metric units are widely used around the world for personal, commercial and scientific purposes. Of all the nations of the world (Date: early 21st century), only Liberia, Myanmar and the United States have not yet officially adopt- ed the Metric system. Metric units consist of a standard set of prefixes in multiples of 10 that may be used to derive larger and smaller units. Work- ing with these units is as easy as multiply- ing or dividing by 10 (or powers of 10).

  • Math 10 Lesson 6–1 Measurement – Imperial Units
    Math 10 Lesson 6–1 Measurement – Imperial units I. Lesson Objectives: 1) To learn about the imperial measures of length. II. Imperial measurement – a little historical tour In 1976, when I was in grade 11, Canada officially adopted the metric or SI system of measures – i.e. basic unit of length is the meter (m), basic unit of mass is a gram (g), basic unit of temperature is a degree centigrade (oC), etc. Before that time Canada used the Imperial system of measurements which we will learn more about shortly. Canadians decided to change because the rest of the world had steadily shifted to metric since 1960. In 1976 the United States of America was also debating whether to change to metric as well. However, for reasons that I still do not understand, the United States stayed with their own set of units which is a combination of imperial and home grown units. Since the United States is a major economic trading partner, we kept using Imperial units along with metric units. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce you to the imperial units for measuring length. The imperial units for measuring length (inches, feet, yards, and miles) have their origins in the lengths of everyday objects. The inch, for example, was originally the width of a thumb. This is useful since you always have your thumb with you. The name comes from uncia which is Latin for ‘twelfth part'. While an inch is considered to be the width of a thumb and is one twelfth of a foot, there is a great deal of variation in the widths of people’s thumbs.

  • FOLLOW the BARLEYCORN: the BEGINNINGS of METROLOGY M J Ferrar
    Ms2 FOLLOW THE BARLEYCORN: THE BEGINNINGS OF METROLOGY M J Ferrar Synopsis The barleycorn appears in the post Roman metrology of the British Isles as the progenitor of the Statute system of metrology. As a cereal, it is both a wild and introduced species. But, why do the learned and technical papers regarding the origins of the Statute measure ignore its contribution to the system. It has a history of its own. Three barleycorns dry and round make an inch; 12 inches a foot, and 3feet a yard. HISTORICAL Ms2D01 In the fertile crescent of the middle and near East, modern Syria, Jordan and Iraq, c8000 BCE, the wild grasses gradually transformed. A genetic accident occurred. The original wild Wheat inter pollinated with Goat grass to form a hybrid which was fertile, and then, a second Goat Grass cross pollinated to form Bread Wheat. Nature provided the raison d’etre for farmers. Dating of flint sickles and grinding stones, querns, discovered in these areas indicate that the population had probably been collectors of wild grain. By c6750BCE, seeds of Wheat and Barley are found; Bread Wheat and Wild Barley. In the near East, c5750BCE, we find Cattle and Emmer Wheat, Einkorn, Barley, 6-row hulled Barley, Oat, Peas, Lentil, Vetch, Pistachio, Acorn and Olive. In Egypt, c4200BCE, there is Emmer Wheat and 6-row hulled Barley. The British Isles in the same period, c8000BCE – c4000BCE, is a very different landscape. It is changing from an Ice Age climate of frozen soils, post glacial, then maturing soils, and, finally productive soils.

  • Scandinavian Authors from This Period, Who, with the Exception of Levertin Who Died in 1906, Are Developing Themselves in Other Directions
    30 Scandinavian authors from this period, who, with the exception of Levertin who died in 1906, are developing themselves in other directions. The Megalithic Yard Reconsidered ~ Rods, Poles or Barleycorns? Anthony Jackson The standing stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis have rightly been called the Scottish Stone­ henge for here, at the head of Loch Roag, are seven sets of stone circles that form a magnificent pre­ historic observatory for predicting eclipses .. "There are several hundred more such megalithic circles besides these impressive monuments to be found in Britain, especially in Scotland. The interesting thing about these monuments built some three mi11­ enia ago is that they are all constructed using a common standard of measurement: the megalithic yard of 2.72 feet. This conclusion reached by Professor Thorn after a careful survey of many of the sites is generally accepted. However, the problem still remains as to the way that the mega­ lith builders preserved their standard of 32.64 inches. Thorn suggests that there must have been a centre which sent out standard rods but none~ alas, have been found and it seems highly unlikely that such an organization could have persisted over the centuries and over such distances in those days4 Others have suggested that the unit must have been based on the hl.DIlan body, but since the normal vari­ ation is so great, it cannot give the required metrical constancy despite providing a rough and ready guide. The aim of this article is to show that the solution to this pro'blem is not only simple but it also explains the apparent complexity of the Bri.tish 31 system of mensuration with all its peculiar measures such as rods, poles or perches.

  • The Units of Length in the Spanish Treatises of Military Engineering
    The Global and the Local: The History of Science and the Cultural Integration of Europe. nd Proceedings of the 2 ICESHS (Cracow, Poland, September 6–9, 2006) / Ed. by M. Kokowski. Juan Navarro Loidi *, Pilar Merino Saenz ** The units of length in the Spanish treatises of military engineering (1) Introduction In this article we study the units of length used by the Spanish military engineers from the Renaissance up to the second half of the 19th century. To do that, we have considered principally the treatises published for the formation of these professionals. Many different units of length had been used since the military engineering arose as a new profession in Spain until the full acceptance of the Metric Decimal System in the country. This variety of units was due, first, to the existence of several different kingdoms with their own units in what is nowadays Spain. Also to the fact that the Spanish troops fought in many European countries during the 16th and 17th centuries. Finally, to the lack of a national tradition in fortification. At the same time, in Spain, as in other many countries, there was a trend to have a natural coherent system of measurements, reproducible and of easy use. The Crown wanted also the unification of the units of measurement of the kingdom, as in any other country. To help the comprehension of what is exposed in this communication, it is convenient to begin summarizing the history of the units of measurements in Spain up to the introduction of the Metric Decimal System and the history of the Spanish military engineering.
