Topic 3: Designing a Lab: Students learn the process of writing up a formal, inquiry lab report. Contains a powerpoint and lab w/ teacher's guide.
Topic 4: Unit Conversions: An easy introduction to dimensional analysis. Contains a 35-slide powerpoint, worksheet and key, and a short quiz.
Topic 5: Significant Digits. Contains a 30-slide powerpoint, worksheet and key, and a short quiz.
Topic 6: Scientific notation. Contains a 15-slide powerpoint, worksheet and key, and a short quiz.
