Science Form 1 Chapter 1 Powerpoint Slides

This document provides an introduction to scientific investigation. It discusses key laboratory equipment used for measurement and experimentation, including crucibles, pipettes, and gas cylinders. Common physical quantities like length, mass, and time that can be measured are defined. The concepts of accuracy, consistency, sensitivity, and errors in measurement are explained. Methods for determining the density of objects are presented. An overview of scientific investigation and a chapter review are provided.

 Systematicerror
 Random error
 Bull eyes representation
 Graphical representation
 Systematic error
 Make sure the instruments are in good
condition to prevent zero error
 CAN’T USE AVERAGE!!

 Random error
 Take multiple readings and obtain its average
value.
 Make sure the position of eye is directly
perpendicular to the scale of the
instruments.
 Area
 Volume
 Can we use water displacement method?

 Cork float on water… how?
