Introducing the Concepts of Measurement Accuracy and Precision in the Classroom
Perea Martins, J. E. M.
Physics Education, v54 n5 Article 055029 Sep 2019
This work proposes simple experiments to introduce some fundamental concepts of the measurement area. It associates theory and practice through a strategy where the students create a real temperature data set with an Arduino board and three LM35DZ sensors and later use mathematical software to identify theoretical concepts as measurement accuracy and precision.
