Agenda for the Week of 9/25

9/25- Monday

Continue Isometric Drawings

What is the difference between and Isometric Sketch and a Perspective Sketch?

Read below:

The quick way to visualize this is to compare isometric and perspective drawings of a cube. In the isometric drawing, all the edges of the cube would be parallel in sets of four. In the perspective drawing, the edges would taper towards one or more vanishing points.

The isometric drawing, being easier to construct, preserving all scales and dimensions, is the preferred method for mechanical drawings, and are practical for use in the shop. The perspective drawing, which are trickier to draw properly, and does not preserve scales and dimensions, is the preferred method for architectural drawings, because they illustrate what the eye actually sees.

An isometric is a mechanical view at a 45 degree angle. Perspective drawings are made so that the drawing looks like real life with distance and depth. In other words from the eye's perspective.

We Will Know: accuracy, dial caliper, dimension, precision, surface area, unit, volume

We Will Understand: the precise measuring tools to practice measuring skills and conversions to different units.

We Will Be Able To: use the measuring tools, convert, dimension, and calculate area, volume, and surface area.

9/28- Wednesday

Read Lesson 1.3 Part 1

Eric’s Slideshow: Introduction to Measuring  

Accuracy vs Precision

Accuracy

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.

Precision

Precision is how close the measured values are to each other.

Example: So, if you are playing soccer and you always hit the left goal post instead of scoring, then you are not accurate, but you are precise!

How to Remember?

• aCcurate is Correct (a bullseye).
• pRecise is Repeating (hitting the same spot, but maybe not the correct spot)
