Today's Agenda

Our Focus Question:  How do we use what we see to determine what we get in the laboratory?

Goals
  1. Express the precision of measurements using ± notation to express uncertainty. 
  2. Use ± information in calculations.
  3. Determine accuracy of results using percent error.
At all times and with all work, you must show a neatly organized approach WITH units, correct chemical formulas, balanced equations, etc.
