What if the graduated cylinder is in increments of 2 and you want to estimate to one more decimal place? Say the meniscus is between 12 and 14, could you say its 13.1?
What I would ask my students to do in that case would be to divide that increment of 2 into ten smaller parts, giving increments of 0.2. This would allow you to report a measurement like 13.0, 13.2, 13.4, etc. It would need to end in an even number, but would allow you to have that decimal place of precision present.
The shameless plug at the end was hilarious, and great teaching too!
got sent this by my chemistry teacher. thank you for helping this stuff to make sense to me! haha
Best part, The advertisement plug at the end.
Lol
Lol
I can tell that you're an amazing professor. This explained it much better than my book. Thank you
great video. this guy must be an amazing professor!

Thanks for giving me this is information i had homework and didn't remember how to do read it 🤣
Chem teacher here. Great video! Would you be willing to share a word or pdf copy of your worksheet with me?
No problem. I added links to them to the video description as Word & as pdf.
what are the 6 liquid volume readings?
Is there a particular timestamp you're referring to?
@@SaberChemLHS sorry but i have no ideas
thank u so much
