ACTIVITY 1.1: “WHY AND HOW WE MEASURE?”
PART A: STANDARD MEASUREMENTS
OBJECTS AREA IN
AREA IN METERS
CENTIMETERS
1.1 0.42625 m2
4262.5 cm2
1.2 1.66221 m2

PART B: ANCIENT MEASUREMENTS

DESCRIPTION
A B
1. dangkal ( younger (father) My father is taller than
1 sister) 9 dangkal/ my younger sister
8 dangkal/ 1.71 m
1.52 m
 1. talampakan (living room) (dining room) Our living room is
2 14 7 bigger than our dining
talampakan/ talampakan/ room
3.15 m 1.58 m
1. hakbang 11 hakbang/ 7 hakbang/ The distance of our
3 6m 3.82 m main door to our
restroom is farther than
our bedroom

SOLUTION
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1) Standard measurement is more accurate than ancient measurement
because different people have body part of different sizes. Using devices as
measurement is faster than using body parts.
2) No, because as I’ve answered in no.1 every person has different body part
sizes.
3) A standard unit of measurement provides a reference point by which objects
can be described by weight, length, etc. We need standard
unit for measurement to make our judgement more reliable and accurate.
For proper dealing, measurement should be same for everybody.

LESSON 2

ACTIVITY 1.2: “ACCURACY VS. PRECISION”

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1) Wrong position, type of paper or coin I use, how I hold the coin, how I throw
or release the coin, and the consistency of how I throw the coins.
2) Not accurate, not precise
3) Right pocision when releasing/ throwing the coins, right mindset at the
throwline and timing and consistency of throwing coins. We need to identify
those to improve the skills in hitting the bullseye and high possibility of
hitting it.
4) This is important because bad equipment, poor data processing or human
error can lead to inaccurate results that are not very close to the truth and
can affect their whole experiment.

ACTIVITY 1.3 “CONCEPT ANALYSIS”

"It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong." — Alan Greenspan

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1) When we make a measurement, we generally assume that some exact or
true value exists based on how we define what is being measured. While we
may never know its true value exactly, we attempt to find the ideal value to
the best of our ability with the time and resources available. Exactness
doesn’t matter as long as the measurements you get is accurate or close to
the true value by using the same resources.
2) First is procedural error because I got confused on how to solve and what’s
the procedure to get the answer. Next experience is forgetting a digit or
wrong value while recording a measurement. I also experience
environmental factors because of the workers in front of our house that
makes a vibration that causes my measuring tool and the object to also
vibrate and unable to get the measure of an object.
