Writing Project

The writing project should be in paragraph format with properly constructed sentences. Data may be in tables. We have not discussed drawing tools in word or using other graphics packages, so you may leave space and make a sketch by hand on your document if you would like to include sketches of any objects. You may also use graphics tools for sketches if you wish to include a sketch. Sketches may be helpful but are not required.

On Friday, your group made a series of measurements to establish the height of the school and the flag pole. Describe in detail, the objects you measured, the actual measurements and what you were able to determine from those measurements. Explain why each measurement was made in the progression from the first object to the final measurements of the flag pole. Use language consistent with that discussed in class and used in the worksheets.

Discuss with other groups, the height of the flag pole and the height of the school. Summarize how your value compares with those of the other groups? How did the method of measuring the height of the school vary among the groups? Was there a difference in the values? How did your measurements vary from those of the other groups?

Make sure your name is at the top of the page. Save a copy of your writing project. Print a copy and turn it in before leaving today. Each student is required to submit a writing project.
