Today we:
- Talked about the differences between Precision and Accuracy
- Handed back Quiz #1
- Received homework sheet on the Metric System
- Took notes on Precision, Accuracy, Measurements, and the Metric system.
To demonstrate how Precision and Accuracy contrast, we held an in-class competition based on the aim of the competitors. The more precise and accurate you were, the better you would perform.
Precision- how reproducible your value is
Accuracy- how close the measurement is to what it actually should be
Measurements- Use the metric system (Mass in grams, Length in meters, Volume in liters)
The Metric System- The following prefixes are used. Focus on 10^6 - 10^-12, specifically 10^3, 10^-2, and 10^-3.
