As you are not actually graded on doing the practical, it is the things that you write down that will gain/lose you marks. Please take the following very seriously:

PRECISION

every time you record a reading from an instrument the value must be recorded to the correct precision (i.e. the precision of the instrument.)

Instruments recorded to smallest division on scale:

• • • • RULER (measures to 1 mm)
      • PROTRACTOR (measures to 1º)

 Instruments recorded to half of smallest division on scale:

• • • • EVERYTHING ELSE

Digital Instruments where we ignore the last digit:

• • • • STOPWATCH (measures to 0.1 s)
      • DIGITAL CALLIPERS (measures to 0.1 mm)
      • DIGITAL MICROMETER SCREW GAUGE (measures to 0.01 mm)
