Caliper Precision Demonstration
This demonstration is about precision in
measurement. It shows students that the length of an object
may be measured with different instruments and yield a
different precision result
Used in Lab:
This
demonstration is used in the Uncertainty lab in PHYS
211 and 212
Equipment:

Location: Demo Rm
Shelf W3
- Meter Stick Location: Demo Rm Shelf W5
Setup Instructions:
- Measure an object with the demonstration meter, write result with uncertainty
- Measure same object with the jaw, write result with more precise uncertainty
