Emily, Michael and Erik section 8-3

Percent of error (accuracy) = (me) measured value - actual value / actual value x 100 = ?%
(record to the nearest hundredth)
Every 1 cm3 is equal to 1 mL ----> both three dimensional
Displacement is the amount of liquid that is displaced is equal to the volume of the object
70 mL final is 72.5 mL the object is 2.5 cm3 = 72.5 ml - 70 ml = 2.5 cm3
You can do this because of the previous rule.
Displacement is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects.
Final amount of volume - initial volume in ml = volume of the object

Show What You Know Precision in Measurement = Success Day II

Objective: To model precision in measurement when obtaining data to solve each of the 3 dilemmas.

Day II Documentation of Procedural Steps for Dilemma 3

Dilemma 3: Preparation is Key

Youre running out the door to catch the bus on the first day of school. You realize that you dont have a dark blue
marker and a light blue marker, two mandatory items on the supplies list you got over the summer. Not wanting to
miss the bus, but also not wanting to go unprepared on the very first day, you wish you could freeze this moment in
time, so you could grab the two markers, but which two markers would you grab? With your bag busting at the
seams, youd only have 45 cm3 left of space to fit the two markers in. Just like that, everything around you stops, and
you realize that your wildest freeze frame moment is now quick which marker combinations could you fit?

Measurable Property: volume of irregular shaped solids

Materials: markers, water for measurement

Equipment: graduated cylinders of various sizes, beaker for water, droppers, scupula

Terms to include: meniscus, eye level, graduated, calibrated, volume, displacement
