1 Precision how exact a measurement is Significant Figures Accuracy how close of a measurement to the exact measurement Accuracy and Precision.pdf Significant Figures *all digits that are known for certainty * indicate the uncertainty of a measurement 1. All non zero digits are significant m 5 significant figures 2. All zeros between two non zero digits are significant L4 significant figures g 6 significant figures 3. Zeros to the right of a non zero digit, but to the left of the decimal point, are not significant unless specifically indicated as significant by a bar placed above the rightmost such zero that is significant. 1,000,000 g1 significant figure 200,800 km4 significant figures 200,800 km5 significant figures _ 200,800 km6 significant figures 4. All zeros to the right of a decimal point and to the left of a non zero digit are NOT significant. A lone zero to left of a decimal point is NEVER significant g 2 significant figures m 3 significant figures 5.

4 Rules in calculating using Significant Figures Given that Addition and Subtraction take place in columns, round the final answer to the first column from the left containing an estimated digit. An answer cannot have more digits to the right of a decimal point than there are in the measurement with the smallest number of digits to the right of the decimal m m m m is the exact answer, to write it with the correct amount of significant figures, look at the number with the least amount of sf m So the correct answer is m m m Same thing is true when subtracting. In multiplication and division, the answer cannot be more digits than the least amount of significant digits in the problem sf x sf So the correct answer is Same thing is true when dividing.

7 Measurement SI : International System of Units Not IS because it is French: Le Systeme International D Unites Expressed in multiples of 10 Some things to Remember when converting any type of measures: To convert from a larger to smaller metric unit you always multiply To convert from a smaller to larger unit you always divide The latin prefixes used in the metric system literally mean the number they represent. Example: 1 kilogram = 1000 grams A kilo is 1000 of something just like a dozen is 12 of something. This is the metric conversion stair chart. You basically take a place value chart turn it sideways and expand it so it looks like stairs.the Latin prefixes literally mean the number indicated. Meter, liter or gram can be used interchangeably. Kangaroos Hop Down Mountains Drinking Chocolate Milk For every step upward on the chart you are dividing by 10 or moving the decimal one place to the left.. Example: To convert 1000 milligrams to grams you are moving upward on the stairs: Pretend you are standing on the milli gram stair tread and to get to the 1 gram stair tread you move up 3 steps dividing by 10 each time. 1000/10 = /10 = 10 10/10 = 1 or 1000/1000 = 1 or use the shortcut and just move the decimal place one place to the left with each step 1000 milligrams = 1 gram. When you move down the stairs you are multiplying by 10 for each step. So you are adding a zero to your original number and moving the decimal one place to the right with each step. Example: To convert 2 kilometers to meters you move 3 steps down on the chart so you add 3 zeros to the 2. 2 km = 2000 m Jan 19 2:28 PM 7
8 Practice Problems: 1.) 3 meters = centimeters 300 centimeters, you walked 2 steps down thereby multiplying by 100 or just add 2 zeros to the original number 2.) 40 liters = decaliters 4 decaliters, you walked up one step thereby dividing by 10, or move your decimal place one place to the left. 3.) 600 milligrams = grams 0.6 grams, you walked up 3 steps thereby dividing by 1000, or move your decimal 3 places to the left. 4.) 5 kilometers = hectometers 50 hectometers 5.) 70 centimeters = meters 6.) 900 deciliters= decaliters 7.) A pet python measured 600 cm long. How many meters long was the snake? 8.) Faith weighed 5 kilograms at birth. How many grams did she weigh? 9.) Jessica drank 4 Liters of tea today. How many deciliters did she drink? Answers meters 6. 9 decaliters 7. 6 meters long grams deciliters Jan 19 3:07 PM 8
