Where Are We Going?

Now, in community and with the support of your teacher,read, discuss, and answer the following questions:a)How can we describe an object based on its characteristics when they can't be measured directly?b) What do we need to design an instrument that allows us to describe an object? c)How did Indigenous communities in Mexico start measuring if they didn't know the Decimal Metric System?

Metrology is the science of measurements and is present in every aspect of our life. It is a basic science that plays a leading role in the areas of research and development, manufacturing,medicine, telecommunications, and commerce,among several other fields. Nowadays, there are many technological instruments and resources available to make physical measurements, but what would happen if the instruments necessary to do it were not accessible? Throughout this project you will perform two experiments designed to understand the importance of measuring in your environment. You will also design and build instruments to measure different physical magnitudes, using your knowledge and the materials at hand.

INQUIRY DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT That's the Question!

In this project, you will design and build measurement instruments with the materials at hand to solve everyday problems.
