Measurement

  • from yesterday – examine different numbers recorded for volume

  • depends on user and device
  • no such thing as pure truth
  • (in Math numbers are IDEAS)
  • users and devices introduce uncertainty
  • written number expresses uncertainty
  • Significant Figures – certain digits plus good guess

Activity Revisited

  • repeat for the two different graduated cylinders (10 mL, 50 mL)
  • Note – meniscus = bottom of liquid
  • record the air temperature using the thermometer
  • measure the width of the table (use the side marked in cm)
  • create a table to organize your information – label properly
  • include proper units
  • be ready to share with the class
