Measuring … … using Significant Figures!!
• Significant figures is used to show the accuracy in a measurement:
Accuracy depends on the smallest increment shown on measuring tool (meter stick, balance, etc.)
The last decimal place (digit) is an estimateThe more decimals places (digits), the more
accurate that measurement is

Measuring
• 4 sided meter stick example

The 3 steps to measuring with significant figures
Think about a number
642.351
Hundreds, Tens, Ones, Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths
![Page 5: Volume – amount of space occupied by an object Length – distance between two points](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f6a550346895dce6fac/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Determine the smallest increment on the measuring tool
1. Hundreds2. Tens3. Ones4. Tenths5. Hundredths6. thousands
What decimal place does each small line represent?
![Page 6: Volume – amount of space occupied by an object Length – distance between two points](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f6a550346895dce6fac/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. Determine the next decimal place beyond that smallest increment(Your measurement will be recorded to this decimal place)
1. Hundreds2. Tens3. Ones4. Tenths5. Hundredths6. thousands
What is the next decimal place?
![Page 7: Volume – amount of space occupied by an object Length – distance between two points](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f6a550346895dce6fac/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3. Record the measurement, estimating one decimal place past the smallest increment shown What is the proper measurement?
1. 824 cm2. 82.4 cm3. 8.24 cm4. 8.240 cm5. 82 cm6. 8.2 cm
![Page 8: Volume – amount of space occupied by an object Length – distance between two points](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f6a550346895dce6fac/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The proper measurement:The Pencil is more than 8.2 cm long …
… But less than 8.3 cm long
… so we estimate to the next decimal place.
8.24cmThe decimal places recorded shows accuracy of the measurement tool
The measurement recorded is to the hundredths place, so we know the smallest increment was to the tenths

Measuring VolumeYou always estimate one decimal place PAST the smallest increment shown

Temperature
º C = (º F - 32.0 º)
º F = (º C) + 32.0 º
K = º C + 273
