1 rs Analyzing Data and " I Communicating Results Kt!f Tenff/ communication: sharing information Analyzing Data When you organize information, you put it in a logical order. In scientific experiments, it is important to organize your data. Data collected during an experiment are not very useful unless they are organized and easy to read. It is also important to organize your data if you plan to share the results of your experiment. Scientists often organize information visually by using data tables, charts, graphs, and diagrams. By using tables, charts, graphs, and diagrams, scientists can display a lot of information in a small space. They also make it easier to compare and interpret data. Tables are made up of rows and columns. Columns run up and down. Rows run from left to right. Tables display data in an orderly arrangement, often numerically. For example, reading a table containing the uses of sulfuric acid shows that the largest use of sulfuric acid is in fertilizers. Figure 15 is a table that shows some uses of sulfuric acid. - USES OF SULFURIC ACID Product f--.

Keys indicate what the special markings represent. Line graphs have horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axes to indicate such things as time and quantities. ~ EXPLAIN: How do tables and graphs help you analyze data? js Sharing Results When you talk to a friend, you are communicating, or sharing information.

This is called making an inference. Yourconclusion will usually be based on observations or past experience. You may use logic to form your statement. Your statement might be supported by evidence and perhaps can be tested by an experiment. An inference is not a fact. It is only one possible explanation. When you predict, you state ahead of time what you think will happen. Predictions about future events are based on inferences, evidence, or pq.st experience.

4 Introduction to the METRIC SYSTEM Length, mass (or weight), and temperature can be measured using several different types.of units. The two measurement systems generally in use are the English System and the Metric System. The English System uses the foot, the pound, and the Fahrenheit (OF) scale. The Metric System uses the meter, the kilogram, and the Celsius (OC) scale. Most of us grew up using the English System, so why change? Metrification is important because nearly all world trade involves metric goods. Presently, the US is out of step with the rest of the world. This compromises our international competitiveness and limits markets for American-rnade products. There are only two other countries in the world (as of 1990) that do not use mebie measurements, Any guesses which ones? No. not England. not France, not Canada, not Mexico. If you guessed any countries other than Liberia and South Yemen, you woukt be wrong. Surprised? All of us are already familiar with at least some metric measurements: 2 liter soda bottles, 35 millimeter film, 10K (kilometer) fun runs, etc. Can you think of any others? Many cars are already buihwith speedometers in both miles per hour and kilometers per hour. And many products are sold with their weight in both ounces and grams. For temperature, the Fahrenheit scale has an seemingly arbitrary basis in which water freezes at 32 F and boils at 212 F. With the Celsius scale, things are much easier to remember. Water freezes at O C and boils at 100 C. More useful, room temperature is approximately 72 F or 23 C, and a hot day is about 100 F or 37 C. [Another temperature scale is sometimes used in science, the Kelvin scale, in which freezing and boiling of water are also separated by 100 degrees. but at 273 K and 373 K. This scale is sometimes called the absolute scale because it is based on absolute zero, the temperature at which molecular motions cease. Absolute zero = 0 K = -273 C = -459 F. The degree sign is not used with K because the temperature units are called Kelvins, not degrees Kelvin.] Learning to use the Metric System should not be difficuh for us. Remember that even illiterate street vendors in other countries use and understand the metric system. It is really a lot easier than the (3
5 English System because everything works on groups of ten (instead of 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 5280 feet to a mile). Equivalencies: 10 millimeters = 1 centimeter 100 centimeters = 1 meter 1000 meters = 1 kilometer The prefixes are useful: mega = a million times kilo = a thousand times hecla = a hundred times (not frequently used) deca = ten times (not frequently used) deci = one tenth (1/10) (not frequently used) centi = a hundredth (1/100) milli = a thousandth (1/1000) micro = a millionth (1/1,000,000) Using the prefixes, we can recognize that there are 1000 millimeters in a meter, 100 centimeters in a meter, 10 decimeters in a meter, and 1000 meters in a kilometer. The abbreviations for the various units are written in lower case letters (not capitals), and can be found in the appendix to your book. Just about the only thing you have to learn is approximately how large the various units are, so that you have some frame of reference. Comparisons: 1 gram is about the weight of a paperclip or a raisin. 1 kilogram is a little more than 2 pounds. 1 liter is a little more than a quart 1 kilometer is a little more than half a mile. 1 meter is a little more than a yard. 1 centimeter is a little less than half an inch. 1 millimeter is about the size of the ball in a ball point pen, or the width of a pencil point Exact conversions between units are listed in the Appendix to your textbook. There is no real need to memorize them as long as you understand how big the metric units are, and as long as you are able to make a conversion, should the need arise. Many rulers are sold with measurements in both systems. (
