Unit One Finally Done
Unit one to me, was like a gallon of iced tea because we worked on different conversion factors in this unit. I learned that there are about 3.8 liters in a gallon for example. And I learned that there are 4 quarts also in a gallon and that there are 2 pints in a quart. This unit also taught me how to properly use stoichiometry like techniques to convert various measurements into other measurements. This is like the iced tea because when you first they to pour out some tea from a full bottle it might spill over but you have to learn that you can just take it slow and then the tea will perfectly pour into your cup with the only trouble being you having to life the heavy gallon of tea. In this unit I also learned that the temperature of the iced tea is not related to the volume of the iced tea because the volume will always stay the same at any temperature.
Hi! I really liked your Iced Tea analogy. I think that it is really creative and effectively represents Unit 1. I liked how you used one gallon of ice tea to represent so many different ideas like dimensional analysis and conversion factors.
ReplyDeleteIt's really interesting how you acknowledged two concepts with one picture in this blog post. Normally, people would just think of the units and converting, but you also put information about how the volume and temperature have no relationship. That's a really creative look on the picture.
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the ice tea example because it's similar to what I thought when I used a Starbucks cup for an example of conversions. I like how you thought of different analogies for the gallon of ice tea and compared it to different components we learned in unit 1.
