Stride+Lab

Purpose: To determine distances using the length of your stride.

Data Tables: Determining your pace:
 * Trial || Number of steps ||
 * 1 ||  ||
 * 2 ||  ||
 * 3 ||  ||
 * Average # of steps: ||  ||

Sample Calculations:
 * Hallway || Number of steps || Distance || % error ||
 * By art room ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Library to guidance ||  ||   ||   ||
 * By main doors ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Length of lockers ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Near cafeteria ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Length of ramp ||  ||   ||   ||

Average length of stride = distance of hallway/average # of steps Distance of hallway = (# of steps)(average length of stride) % error = [|calculated distance - actual distance|/(actual distance)]*100

Questions: How good are you at measuring? (look at your percent error) What could you do to be more accurate? How can you use what you learned in this lab during your trip to Knoebel's?

Conclusion - Include purpose, results, discussion, and errors
