A simple but beautifully well illustrated set of Keynote slides to help teachers introduce students to common scientific measuring instruments and their precision.
The first two slides link precision to the scale division of the instrument and the use of different prefixes for the same measurement and uncertainty.
Includes high quality diagrams to help link the measurement concept to use of the real instrument. A slide at the end shows how to indicate precision in tabulated results.
Instruments covered in this presentation deck:
- Ruler
- Vernier caliper (standard precision ± 0.1 mm)
- Micrometer
- Voltmeter (digital and analogue versions [10 V shunt ± 0.2 V]
- Handheld stopwatch
