1 SIGNIFICANT FIGURES BEGIN
2 and someone hands you this. Imagine you are asked to measure the length of something...
3 How do we use it most effectively?
4 Rulers, thermometers, and graduated cylinders, to name a few, are pieces of equipment used to measure. In this activity, you will explore several methods for accurately and precisely measuring quantities and doing so using significant figures. Be sure to use your notebook to record your calculations and observations. GET STARTED
5 COMPONENTS OF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES ACCURACY & PRECISION MEASURING WITH SIGNIFICANT FIGURES VOLUME OF LIQUIDS PERCENT ERROR LENGTH WHY ARE THEY SIGNIFICANT? CLICK HERE WHEN YOU HAVE EXPLORED THE LINKS ABOVE
6 1. ACCURACY & PRECISION Accuracy: How close to perfect you are. Precision: How repeatable your data is.
7 Each of five students used the same ruler to measure the length of the same pencil. The resultant data: cm, cm, cm, cm, and cm. The actual length of the pencil was cm. Describe whether the Accuracy and Precision are each good or poor for these measurements.
8 PERCENT ERROR A chemistry student measured the boiling point of naphthalene (C 10 H 8 ) at C. What is the percent error for this measurement if the literature value is C? *Remember to use the ESA method for solving this problem.
9 2. MEASURING WITH SIG FIGS Significant figures are important because they tell us how good the data we are using are.* *The word data is plural for datum, so even though it seems weird saying that data are [something], it s grammatically correct.
10 TEMPERATURE Make measurements using the pictures on each slide. Show the correct number of significant figures. Temperature in C (close up of thermometer)
11 VOLUME Volume in ml (graduated cylinder)
12 LENGTH Length of line in cm (ruler)
13 3. VOLUME OF LIQUIDS Directions: Measure 25 ml of water into a beaker. Measure and record the volume, being careful to report your data to the correct number of significant figures and units. Pour that SAME liquid into the following measuring instruments, being careful to follow this order: 100 ml graduated cylinder, 50 ml graduated cylinder, 10 ml graduated cylinders. Record each of your measurements to the correct number of sig figs and units. Compare your measurements with two other sets of partners and answer the analysis questions. Duplicate the table on the next slide to record your data
14 TESTING VOLUME Your Data Group #1 Data Group #2 Data Beaker 100 ml graduated cylinder 50 ml graduated cylinder 10 ml graduated cylinders (total the volumes)
15 ANALYSIS QUESTIONS Answer the following questions in your notebook. 1. Can you report all of your measurements to the same number of significant figures? Explain your answer using your knowledge of significant figures. 2. Are your measurements precise? Explain your answer using your data as support.
16 ANALYSIS QUESTIONS Answer the following questions in your notebook. 3. Which piece of glassware do you believe was most accurate? Use your data to support your answer. 4. Which type of glassware would best measure 2.5 ml of water? Explain.
17 4. PERCENT ERROR The amount of error associated with a measurement compared to a known value.
18 PERCENT ERROR % error = 100 measured value accepted value accepted value
19 PERCENT ERROR Directions: With a partner, measure your height and arm span. Both you and your partner need to complete the measurements for question 1 (you will each record the data from your own height and arm span). Include units and show all work during calculations. Your Height: Your Total Arm Span (from finger tip to finger tip):
20 ANALYSIS QUESTIONS 1.In studying the human body, the Greeks discovered a person s height is nearly the same as their total arm span. Were the Greeks correct? Calculate the percent difference between your height and your arm span. 2.Identify at least one possible experimental (NOT human) error that could have occurred during this activity. How will this error alter your percent difference calculated in question 1.
21 5. LENGTH Directions: Using your metric ruler, measure the objects found at your station. Report your values to proper significant figures and with proper units. Duplicate the table on the following slide.
22 LENGTH Object Height of your Lab Bench (or table) Length Length of line (on index card) Diameter of the Circle (on the index card) Thickness of a Paper Clip Length of String
23 ANALYSIS QUESTIONS 1.Did you encounter any problems when measuring your objects? 2.Do you think your measurements are accurate? Explain why or why not. 3.Did the ruler provide you with an appropriate scale to measure all of the objects?
24 6. WHY ARE THEY SIGNIFICANT? Determine the number of significant figures in each of the following. EXPLAIN your reasoning.
25 Sig Figs - Why? Number 3.57 m g m 3 730,000 kg 12,700. ml 30 atoms g/ml 19.0 s 810 C Number of Sig Figs Reason mol
26 Keep in mind... Significant Figures are important for scientists and statisticians to keep track of when taking measurements. The numbers truly have meaning!
27 Nice work! Now complete your Lab Credit Sheet (LCS) for this lab and then...
