    Paper 3 Things

    Uncertainties – (highest of) resolution of equipment or pm half the range, add or subtract
    means add raw uncertainty, multiply or divide means add percentage uncertainty.
    Graphing skills – analysing y = mx + c situations
    State final answer to same precision as question
    Be specific when talking about types of error – random, systematic, zero
