GSIS Grade 8 Students, Welcome to Metrology!

8 Science: Semester 2 – Metrology (Mar. 30 ~ May. 1 approx.)

 

 ... to see photos of former projects, click on link AT BOTTOM OF PAGE

 

Metrology objectives:

  • Explain and give examples of 4 basic dimensions: length, area, volume, object which exists through time [test]
  • Name and identify regular two dimensional shapes including: circles, triangles, rectangles and polygons (through hexagon) [test]
  • Name and identify three dimensional shapes such as rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids and spheres [test]
  • Draw nets of assigned 3-dimensional shapes on graph paper or white unlined paper [test]
  • Determine volume and surface area of regular geometric shapes including: rectangular, triangular and circular prisms and spheres [test]
  • Draw assigned cuboids (rectangular prisms) and prisms correctly on blank, A4 paper using straight edge and compass [test]
  • Visualize apparent and "hidden" (ie. not visible) sides of three dimensional objects and drawings [test]
  • Creatively produce new shapes of objects from assigned components [building project]
  • Break down complex shapes into basic geometric shapes to determine their area and volume [building project] & [test]
  • See and explain the relationship between design requirements and cost [building project]
  • Identify and explain "elegance" in design [affective & maybe test]
  • determine SA/V ratio and explain significance in cells (biology) [test]
  • perform dimensional analysis to solve problems in one and multiple steps [test]
