Significant Digits
Every measurement has a degree of uncertainty associated with it.
The uncertainty derives from: • the measuring device • the skill of the person doing the measuring

How much water is in this graduated cylinder?
Rule 1 – Read the BOTTOM of the meniscus
Rule 2 – Always give your answer with ONE more place value than the tool provides.
Tool provides 30 mL. Therefore, you give one more place value….. 30.0 mL

Using significant digits with length
Rule: Always give your answer with ONE more place value than the tool provides.
The ruler tells us 4.5 cm. Therefore, you give one more place value….. 4.50 cm

Ladder Method
How do you use the “ladder” method?
1st – Determine your starting point.
2nd – Count the “jumps” to your ending point.
3rd – Move the decimal the same number of jumps in the same direction.
4 km = _________ m
