  1. Aim: How do we record measurements? Do Now: Record the measurements of A, B, and C 0 A 1 2 B C 3

  2. Rule: State the digits that you know for certain and estimate one extra digit. This shows the precision of your measuring instrument. Acceptable answers to the do now: A – 0.2 0.3 0.4 B – 2.26 2.27 2.28 2.29 C – 2.80 Estimated digit Certain digits B and C are more precise measurements Certain digit Certain digits Estimated digit Estimated digit

  7. Uncertainties in Measurements • In devices: • A metal ruler’s length can change with changes in temperature • Electric devices can be affected by magnetic fields near them • With People: • Reading an instrument from an angle (not at eye level) could result in incorrect readings

  8. Parallax – the apparent shift in the position of an object when it is viewed from various angles Precision – the degree of exactness to which a measurement can be reproduced - limited to the smallest division on the scale of the instrument Accuracy – how well the result agrees with an accepted value
