Internal Assessment: Max, Min, and Line of Best Fit

Practice IA: Hooke's Law- Data, Calculations, and Graphing

Practice IA: Co-efficient of Friction

Question: What is the coefficient of friction, µ, between a block and the lab floor?

Answer: Using the data collected in class, answer the question and organize their ideas following the format of the IB Design Aspects listed in the IB Rubric.

Aspect 1: Personal Engagement

Aspect 2: Exploration

Aspect 3: Analysis

Aspect 4: Evaluation

Aspect 5: Communication

Data is Listed below, construct a scatterplot/graph: label the axis, plot the points, draw and explain the error bars (no repeatability error provided), draw and find the slope of the line of best fit.
