Dimensional AnalysisFancy word for converting between units.
Example: Convert 43 km/h to m/s.
Step 1: Write down what you’re given.
Step 2: Make sure units on top match one on bottom
Step 3: Cancel out units until you arrive at desired units.
Step 4: Does it make sense?

MeasurementsMeasurement: A comparison between an unknown quantity and
a known standard.
Precision vs. Accuracy.Precision: How close measurements agree.
Accuracy: How close measurements are to accepted value

Graphing
Dependent Variable
Factor that ‘depends’ upon the independent variable. Usually the variable that fluctuates without any pattern.
Independent Variable
The factor which is manipulated or controlled during the experiment. Often it is the variable that goes up incrementally.

3 Major Types of Relationships in Graphing
Linear Relationship Quadratic Relationship Inverse Relationship
A relationship where the line of best fit is a straight line.
y = mx + b
A relationship where the line of best fit is a parabola.
y = ax2 + bx + c
A relationship where the line of best fit is a hyperbola.
y = a / x

Finding Lines of Best Fit w/ Calculator Step 1: Entering the data into the calculator.
STAT → Edit → (put in x values in L1 , and put y values in L2)
To clear an entire list, get to the edit screen, highlight L1 and push ‘Clear’.
Step 2: Graphing your data.2nd → Y= → Enter → Highlight the On and push Enter → Zoom → ZoomStat → Enter
Step 3: Calculating the Line of Best Fit.
x values y values
First decide what type of a relationship it is: Linear, Quadratic, Inverse (aka logarithmic or ln)
STAT → arrow to the right over CALC → arrow down and select which type of regression it is to perform QuadReg, LinReg, LnReg → then hit 2nd → 1 (or the L1) → comma (right above the 7 key) → 2nd → 2 (or the L2) → ENTER
Step 4: Graphing the Line of Best Fit Over the Data
Hit the Y= key and enter in the equation it gave you in step 3.

Finding Lines of Best Fit w/ MS ExcelStep 1: Entering the data into the computer.
Step 2: Making the chart.
Click ‘Insert’ → Chart → select which type of chart you want → Next → select the ‘Series’ tab → If there is anything in window 1 delete it → Add → Click the X Values button → highlight your X values → Enter → Click the Y Values button → highlight your Y values → Enter → Click Next and Follow Prompts or Finish
Window 1 X Values Button
Y Values Button
Step 3: Adding a Line of Best Fit to Chart.
Click anywhere in the chart → Click the ‘Chart’ tab at top → Add Trend Line → Select the type which suits your data → Click the ‘Options’ tab → select the box at the bottom which says ‘Display Equation on Chart’. → Done.
