3. metric prefixes (Mega, kilo, centi, milli, micro, nano)

4. SI base units, with punctuation rules

5. significant figures - know how to count, round, do math with these, read instruments

7. dimensional analysis (including metric prefixes, scientific notation, sig figs, rounding)

8. accuracy/precision lab (know definitions also)

9. ellipse lab - general information, given drawing, make measurements and calculations

10. Meniscus, cohesion, adhesion, use of graduated cylinder, vernier caliper, volume by water displacement

11. Expansion-contraction coefficients (problems)

12. Average deviation, standard deviation

13. Measurement (with rulers, graduated cylinders, vernier calipers

14. Hot/cold water freezing, dependent and independent variables, experiment design, loop airplane, ice age notes

15. MiniLab 1 content  (cohesion and adhesion, coin information)

16. Chapter 1 in textbook (only topics from the chapter on test are those discussed in class)

all of these topics are covered in this website - please use the teaching topics and laboratory sections
