Today we spent the beginning of class finishing the Measurement Lab. We learned how to log our information and measurements into Microsoft Excel and do various calculations on there. We created graphs to show precision (the closeness of measurements to one another), and we calculated the percentage errors of our lab measurements to determine accuracy (closeness to actual value). Here is a picture of my notes on calculating the percentage errors of my measurements.
All the information on how to complete the lab and the lab analysis is available on the Measurement Lab overview, which is on the February 3rd post on Andrew's DP titled "Unit 3-Measurement."
The remainder of class was open time to work.
