Presentation Transcript

  1. The Scientific Method

  2. Using and Expressing Measurements Scientificnotation is written as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to a power.

  3. Accuracy, Precision, and Error Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the actual or true value of whatever is measured. Precision is how close a series of measurements are to one another.

  4. Accuracy, Precision, and Error

  5. Significant Figures in Measurements Every nonzero digit is significant. (1.48 has 3 sig figs) Zeros between nonzero digits are significant. (10605 has 5 sig figs) Zeros appearing before nonzero digits are not significant. (0.00034 has 2 sig figs)

  6. Significant Figures in Measurements • Zeros at the end of a number to the right of a decimal place are always significant. (12.00 has 4 sig figs) • Zeros at the end of a number without a decimal are not significant. (12500 has 3 sig figs)

  7. Significant Figures in Calculations Addition and Subtraction: the answer has the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places. Multiplication and Division: the answer has the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least sig figs
