    Quality of measurement Write Up Wire Wire This diagram shows how we carried out our experiment‚ by connecting 2 wires to the ohmmeter and attached the wires to the samples we used in our experiment. Preliminary Experiment At first in our preliminary experiment my group and me decided to use an ohmmeter instead of a multimeter. We did this as we thought it would make it easier for us to record our results. These are the results we got from our preliminary experiment: Length (mm)

    Error Analysis Lab By: Lab Team 5 Introduction and Background: In the process of learning about the importance of measurement and data processing‚ lab teams were given prompts to design experiments as well as address the precision‚ accuracy‚ and error analysis within the experiment. Lab teams collaborated their data to find similarities and differences within their measurements. Through this process‚ students learned the importance of the amount of uncertainty as well as the different

    Errors and Uncertainty in Experimental Data Causes and Types of Errors   Conducting research in any science course is dependent upon obtaining measurements. No measure is ever exact due to errors in instrumentation and measuring skills. If you were to obtain the mass of an object with a digital balance‚ the reading gives you a measure with a specific set of values. We can assume that the actual measure lies either slightly above or slightly below that reading. The range is the uncertainly of

    Lab Report 1: Measurement Lab Date: January 17‚20XX Lab Partners: XZ Report Date: January 24‚2014 Report Written by: XXXXXX Introduction: Measurement is a form of quantitative observation. The ability to make accurate and precise quantitative observations is crucial to science. Accuracy in this sense refers to the closeness of the measured result to the hypothetical “true” value (Motzny 2014). Having a precise measurement implies its exactness.
