1 Measurement in Experiments
Part 2

2 Significant Figures Another way of being precise with measurements.
Can you think of any situations where it’s important to be precise in measurement? Rules to calculate whether numbers are significant or not…

3 The rules

4 Adding/ Subtracting/ Multiplying/ Dividing
Your answer should always contain the LOWEST number of sig figs represented in the problem For example: =  103.2 123x5.35=  658

5 If you get finished… Review on page 20, numbers 1-3
