    This document contains instructions for Laboratory Report 1, which involves measuring physical quantities using standard and non-standard measuring devices. Students are asked to select three physical quantities to measure, such as length, area, volume, density, specific gravity, time or speed. For each quantity, students should take measurements using a standard device to obtain a target value, and also take measurements using informal methods through at least five trials. Students are to analyze the accuracy and precision of the measurements and identify sources of error. The laboratory report should follow an IMRAD format with sections on introduction, methodology, results and discussion.

    LABORATORY REPORT 1

    Measurement of Length, Area, Volume, Density,

    Specific Gravity, Time & Speed

    Instruction:

    1. Select at least three (3) physical quantities to be measured and evaluated.


    2. Conduct an experiment for measuring these quantities using:
    (a) standard measuring device (or established method of measurement); the
    value obtained from this measuring device will be considered the Set Value or
    the Target Value, and
    (b) measure the same quantity using different measuring device; you may use
    informal system of measuring or other acceptable method. This process must
    be conducted in at least five trials.
    3. Present your data in tabular or graphical manner.
    4. Determine the accuracy (with respect to the Target Value) and the precision of
    the data obtained in (2b)
    5. Laboratory report must be presented in IMRAD format. The format provided
    below will serve as a guide on presenting your laboratory report 1. You may add
    and/or enhance the content as presented below.

    Objectives of Laboratory Report 1:

    1. To use standard and non-conventional measuring device to measure different


    quantities.
    2. To design experimental procedure for measuring different quantities.
    3. To check the accuracy and precision of the set of measurements.
    4. To determine the type and cause of measurement error.
