https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac Each lab group is to answer three prompts, making reference to EdPuzzles and the hemp article – 1) What is a standard? 2) What are three characteristics of a standard? 3) Why is it important to establish a standard? en-us 2020-09-29 03:47:37 UTC 2020-09-29 14:28:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/sticky.jpg hasherif https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787549496 A standard is a basic unit of measurement that is agreed on. As the EdPuzzle with Neil DeGrasse was saying it is agreed on and no one questions it, because there is no exact measurement of anything.

A standard is a level of quantity or measurement that is universal and can be used in comparative evaluations. Neil DeGrasse Tyson states that there is an artifact in a museum that is universally considered as the kilogram.

One characteristic of a standard is that it can never be fully precise, as Neil deGrasse Tyson explained. There will always be some variation in the results of a measurement. Another characteristic is that a standard is only what the community - for example, take Europe post French Revolution - agrees upon for that specific measurement, and there is a lot of room for error within it. A third and final characteristic for a standard is the precision of its measurement is only as precise as the design of the tool being used. ]]> 2020-09-29 12:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787551078 kahan1 https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787551535 #1: A standard is a set measurement that is used to compare other objects.

What is a standard? 
A standard is a measurement in which society has agreed too. Neil deGrasse Tyson stated in his video that a standard measurement is  something that individuals  can never know precisely, it's essentially an approximation that all of a society has decided to agree upon.

2. Must be measurable using a universal standard

It is important to establish a standard so that there is a baseline for a larger group of people to go off of. It allows for more accurate data and makes it easier to communicate amongst different groups of people]]> 2020-09-29 12:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787552852 maberrocal https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787553531 3. Why is it important to establish a standard?

It is important to establish a standard so everyone references and understands the measurement. The measurement will be the basis for everyone that uses it. For example in the History of Metrics Edpuzzle, the universal measurements in science and medicine is the metric system. This acts as the standard for these departments, which allows everyone to understand the quantities. Without a standard people would get confused as to how to label an object. In the Good Hemp Seed or 'Garbage' article famers want to establish a standard for hemp seeds. Since there is no standard people don't know what measurement to label there hemp seeds. ]]> 2020-09-29 12:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787553531 jasawhney https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787554375 1. A basic measurement that is universally accepted.
2. It has to be measurable to ensure that it is the same no matter where you are. For example, Neil DeGrasse Tyson explained that the reference for a kilogram was changed to a silicon ball. This was done so that you can count the atoms to make sure that the ball is truly a kilogram.
3. It is important to establish a standard so that communication and the amounts are clear. In the Metric System Matters video, it was mentioned that a satellite crashed because of a mix up of measurements. If there was a standard, then this mix up wouldn't occur.]]> 2020-09-29 12:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787554375 https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787555363 1) According to Neil DeGrasse Tyson, standard is measurement which we all agree to, one that is universally accepted.
2) Three characteristics of a standard are it must be agreed upon, easily understood and attainable, and is never 100% precise. Neil DeGrasse Tyson explained you can only measure things to approximation. 
3) It is important because without standards communicating and comparing measurements would be much more difficult and confusing. In the Hemp article, it shows that because they do not have a standard of a hemp seed measurement it complicates the whole process for the farmers and others in the industry.]]> 2020-09-29 12:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787555363 mastone4 https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787557973 A standard is an accepted measurement that people use and compare to in order to measure other things.]]> 2020-09-29 12:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787557973 https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787559462 1 of the 3 characteristics of a standard is that a standard will not be exact. Every answer will be a different measurement. The second characteristic would be that it is universally accepted. The standard will only be as exact as the tool you are using to measure something is.]]> 2020-09-29 12:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787559462 https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787561492 Question Three:  
It is important to establish a standard because otherwise things can get very unorganized. Without standards, everyone would be measuring in different ways, and nothing would be set. For example, the hemp farmers need a standard measurement and value so that it is easier for them to trade, sell, and buy standard amounts for standard prices. ]]> 2020-09-29 12:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787561492 https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787567387 3. It is important to establish a standard because it creates accountability. It allows the industry to have a universal standard that they can apply to trade, and allows farmers to market things legally. It would make it easier for the world to compare data.]]> 2020-09-29 12:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787567387 madaino https://padlet.com/kreilly3/tc3kaq38qdfoyzac/wish/787569295 Question 2:
One characteristic of a standard is that it is agreed upon by a group of people. For example in the US, the standard is the customary system, but in most other countries the standard is the metric system. Another characteristic is that a standard is never 100% precise. Neil deGrasse Tyson explained that there is always going to be variation in the results of a measurement. Lastly, the precision of the standards measurement is only as precise as the tool that is being used the measure.
