Objectives 1-2 • Agenda • Do Now 5 • Reflecting 5 • PEQ 10 • WDYT Now? 10 • Quiz 10 • Preparing 10 • WDY See? Think? We are learning… • All measurements have uncertainties or random errors • Repeated measurements can vary in accuracy and precision • Random errors can be attributed to the measurement and/or the measuring instrument We will be successful when we can… • Calibrate the length of a stride • Measure a distance by pacing it off and by using a meter stick • Identify sources of error in measurement • Evaluate estimates of measurements as reasonable or unreasonable
Preparing 1-2 6 minutes! • Mention how uncertainties are a part of safe driving • Explain why driving 31 mi/h in a 30 mi/h zone does or does not warrant a ticket • If you do not think that 31 mi/h deserves a ticket, you will need to explain what speed should get a ticket and why

WDY Think Now? 6 minutes! • Two students measure the length of the same object. One reports a length of 3 m, the other reports a length of 10 m. Has one of them made a mistake? • If the students reported measurements of 3 m and 3.01 m, do you think one of them has made a mistake? • How can you reduce errors? • Random error • Systematic error • Accuracy • Precision
