Day 1
- Course mechanics: Setting up retakes. Summaries now go into separate documents
- Unit conversion practice
- Precision discussion - how many significant figures with the beaker, graduated cylinder, etc? Does it make sense to write down 31.05 milliliters for a measurement when the smallest division on the beaker is 10 milliliters?
Day 2
- Check in on notes.
- One practice conversion problem
- Precision activity. You have 6 different measuring devices for volume. Place each one on a scale, zero it, then put exactly 30.0 grams of water in the measurer. Record the volume reading on the side in the shared google doc. What should the measurement be?
- Which decimal place should you write each answer to? Why?
- Which device should be the best one? Why?
- Which one is the best? Why?
