    This experiment aims to teach students about experimental error, accuracy, and precision by having them measure objects using different measuring tools and comparing the results. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other. Students will measure various classroom objects like windows and doors using rulers, tape measures, and other tools, record the data, and observe which tools are best suited to different measurement tasks. They will then analyze their results to determine measurement accuracy and precision and the importance of using the appropriate measuring tool.

    MEASUREMENT
    Objective
    1. To learn how experimental data changes and learn to evaluate results with
    uncertainty.
    2. To understand experimental error, accuracy and precision.

    Theory and Analysis

    Precision and accuracy are two ways that scientists think about error. Accuracy
    refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. Precision refers
    to how close measurements of the same item are to each other. Precision is
    independent of accuracy.
    Accuracy and precision are both forms of measurement that define how close
    you are to hitting a target or achieving a goal. Accuracy evaluates how close you are
    to the true value of the measurement, while precision shows how close the measured
    values are to one another.

    Materials
    • Ruler
    • Tape measure
    • Pull push rule
    • Meter stick
    • Measuring wheel
    • Digital Thermometer, glass thermometer

    Procedure
    1. Choose an object (window, blackboard, book, door, and etc.) inside the classroom
    that can be measured using different measuring tools.
    2. Select an appropriate measuring tool to measure those objects.
    3. Record all the data gathered.
    4. Lastly, observe the importance of using appropriate tools in measuring different
    objects.
