Q1 MOTION

ESTIMATION & MEASUREMENT // 01

Estimation is sometimes confused with Guessing, but it isn't the same. Guessing is a process of bringing an answer without any previous information. Estimating is possible when we have some framework and with it, we can arrive to an answer. Measuring is based on a pattern or rule to which we can compare and get an accurate result.

The games that you are about to explore will make you clarify the concepts of Estimation and Measurement.

Do your best!!

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION // 03

Scientific Notation came to simplify our lives when working with numbers. In science, we either work with very big numbers (example; distances of planets or galaxies) or very small numbers (example; weight and size of a certain atom). Without Scientific Notation, it would be very difficult to work with those numbers and also it would lead to easy mistakes at forgetting one or several zeros.

In the next games Scientific Notation is our target, so take the challenge and show how good you are at it.

Make Scientific Notation your best friend!!

ACCURACY & PRECISION // 02

Accuracy and Precision are very often confused or used as synonims but they are not. As you already know, Accuracy is how near you are from the real value of a parameter. Whereas Precision refers to the ability to have repeatability or be able to perform in the same way. Obviously the best outcome is to have both Accuracy and Percision at the same time.

The games chosen in this section are for you to explore these 2 concepts.

Have Fun!!

SI UNITS & PREFIXES // 04

SI Units or also known as "Le Système International d'unités" is the system of units more common in the world and used in science. It is based on the metric system and it was born as the Metric System during the French Reviolution.

Prefixes make numbers easier to work with, by representing a certain amount of zeros with a letter.

Both SI Units and Prefixes are used not only for science purpose but little by little our everyday life uses them a a more intelligent way to express an idea.

Enjoy the next games!!

SCIENTIFIC METHOD // 05

The Scientific Method as you already know is a series of steps (Observation, Question, Gather Data, Hypothesis, Experiment, Data from Experiment and Conclusion) that help us to prove or disprove the best guess based on previous information (facts).

In the games included in Scientific Method, you will be able to prove your understanding in this system and it will provide you with more certainty when applying it in real life cases.
