3 Question Blog
1. What tasks have you completed recently?We have completed a total of four tasks the past three weeks in class. The first lab was Exploring Measurement in the Food Industry, where we determined accuracy and precision after collecting data for several bags. The second was practicing and learning the importance of significant digits. We copied notes and learned what made a measurement more precise or invalid. Third, we had a Density Lab to find the density of pennies in water. Then lastly, we worked to solve for the thickness of aluminum foil by calculating its density, volume and area.
2. What have you learned recently?
I have recently learned how many significant digits are calculated when either adding/subtracting or multiplying/dividing. I've became familiar with the difference between accuracy and precision in measurements. Although, its still fresh I have also learned how to find the thickness of an object, specifically an piece of aluminum foil
3. What are you planning on doing next to improve you understanding or reinforce your learning?
I plan to look over my notes to figure out how to correctly use the Atlantic-Pacific rule. If that still doesn't clear up any confusion I'll just YouTube it, since I better understand visually.
