1. Communicating Uncertainty in Measurement
Limit of Precision
What is the smallest increment on the measuring tool?
_______________
LOP is _____________
Uncertainty
How many significant figures can your measuring tool allow you?
___________________________
Uncertainty is _________________

2. By the way…

3. Each tool below has a different uncertainty of measurement
Each tool below has a different uncertainty of measurement. State how many significant figures there are for each one, and state the limit of precision (LOP) for each one.

4. Determine the measurement in cm communicated by each ruler, and determine the uncertainty.

5. Making a proper Graph Every graph MUST HAVE:
a ____________ (with the manipulated and responding variable)
______________ with the manipulated variable & ________________
______________with the responding variable & ________________
data points plotted
A _____________________________

6. Make a graph from the following Data Table

8. Slope & Y-intercept
Slope = y2 – y1 WHAT IS THE SLOPE OF THE GRAPH x2 – x1 YOU CREATED? Show your work g – 30.0 g cm3 – 6.0 cm *in a Mass vs. Volume graph, the slope is equal to the density
Y-intercept = when the line crosses through the y-axis; when x = 0 *in the case of a Mass vs. Volume graph… can something that has 0 g of mass still have volume? =
