Homework

[Goat]

Trying to help my daughter with her homework, but its only now i realise i should have paid more attention in science!! So i need help mates.

The homework is science, its titled Get the measure of it. It lists things and you have to say how you would measure it and in what units. i.e.

Time - Stopwatch/Clock - Hours,Minutes,Seconds
Length - Tape Measure - CM,MM
Force -
Mass/Weight - Scales - kilograms, grams
Angle -
Light -
Sound -
Capacity -
Temperature - Thermometer - Celsius,Fahrenheit

Fill in my blanks.

force is probably mass and acceleration, but not sure what it is measured with

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Sciene. My achilles heel.

Force is measured in newtons though, I know that.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Oh, and angle would be degrees? and you can use a protractor.

To help her with that one, see http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/protractor.html

Sound - decibels
Capacity -
Temperature - Thermometer - Celsius,Fahrenheit

Fill in my blanks.

sorry mate only think of two I think angles is that semi circle thing but cant remember what its called

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Sound, measured in decibels, with a decibel scale.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

So

Time - Stopwatch/Clock - Hours,Minutes,Seconds
Length - Tape Measure - CM,MM
Force - ??? - Newtons
Mass/Weight - Scales - kilograms, grams
Angle - Degrees - Protractor
Light -
Sound - Decibels - Decibel Scale (check that, its like a little machine)
Capacity -
Temperature - Thermometer - Celsius,Fahrenheit

I need light and Capacity, only i think.

For force i went with Newton Scale and Newtons, she said that when they learnt about these things she was out the classroom, rehearsing for the school play........... And they didnt even give her a fact sheet, same as last week, they forgot to give her a fact sheet and i had to do some plant stuff. Schoolwork is way to hard.

LIGHT---LUMENS
ANGLES--DEGREES,MINUTES,SECONDS

units of measurement
Units of Measurement

look on the back of a book of logarithms

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Can you not measure capacity by using water? Pretty sure in Sciene thats how we did it. Measuring jug with water in, put something in it and measure the increase.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I was right;

BBC - Schools - KS2 Bitesize Revision - Maths

Goat maybe worth making her have a read through these

Just need how you measure light now, i know its lumens, just what you use.

this homework shinanigans is piss take, teachers get all that time off yet expect us to teach them when we are off.

i had to "help" my daughter construct a pyramid earlier fron a sheet of card. firstly try to find stiff card thats suitable, then all the stuff for holding it together, draw it out, and tbh you have to be pretty geometrically correct or it doesnt turn out right, then "she" had to make the thing. it took us a while tbh, then she had to decorate it. i'm cross as anythin' here

a light metre ?
