ADAPTIVE TEACHING GUIDE

GENERAL PHYSICS 1

Lesson #2 ERRORS IN MEASUREMENTS

Prerequisite Content-knowledge: Percent error and standard deviation

The students were able to calculate the percentage error in a particular data

Prerequisite Skill: Standard deviation and variance calculation

Student should have the ability to identify the variance and standard deviation of a data

Prerequisites Assessment: COMPUTATION CHECKLIST

Convert 37 degrees Celsius into Kelvin

Introduction:
The topic is fairly good enough for two meetings (two hours). For inquiries and clarification, the student may consult their teacher at FB Messenger
Students are expected to gain concepts targeting the levels of thinking – Remembering, Understanding and Applying (RUA) on the most essential learning competencies on

a. Impartiality and Fairness in calculating precision and accuracy

b. Accuracy and Precision in correcting random and systematic errors
c. Critical and Analytical thinking skills is estimating errors in different physical quantities

OVERVIEW OF THE LESSON

This lesson is all about the difference of precision and accuracy, difference of random and systematic errors and how to minimize or correct errors by estimating errors in
different physical quantities

eathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material.
Magmatic processes comprise any process that affects the melting or crystallization of a magma. This includes partial melting of rocks of different composition under different conditions of
COLEGIO DE LOS BAÑOS
temperature and pressure (total and fluid such as H2O) and the processes that modify the composition of the melt after melting* Hydroelectric energy is a form of renewable energy
that uses the power of moving water to generate electricity.According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, coastal
ecosystems of the Philippines are very productive and represent the huge amount of
natural resources. It provides food and livelihood to many people. However, it is also
the most geologically active zone on Earth. Coastal processes in this zone may result
to erosion, submersion and saltwater intrusion. These effects could lead to different
hazards such as:

1. Barrier islands movement.

Barrier islands are formed due to deposition of sand brought by waves
protecting the mainland from damage due to large waves. It also provides
habitat for the aquatic wildlife. It can be destroyed or moved by erosion on the
contrary.

2. Flooding
It also destroys habitat and may lead to great erosion. The main cause
of this hazard is the submersion or sea level rise, a climate change
phenomenon through which ocean water volume increases, ice sheets and
glaciers melt, and occurrence of thermal expansion.

3. Fresh water contamination

Intrusion or movement of saline water to fresh water aquifers can lead
to the degradation or contamination of ground water including drinking
water resources. Intrusion is aided by hydraulic action but triggered by
human activities.

Student’s Experiential Learning:

Chunk 1
Formative question: How will you know if your measurements are both precise and accurate
Face-to-face Strategy: Solving mathematical equations in uncertainty and percent error
Synthesis:
A measurement is said to be precise if the data is close enough with each other and the degree of uncertainty should not exceed by 5%. Likewise, measurements are
said to be accurate if the theoretical value is close to the actual value, and percent error should not exceed the 5% limit

Chunk 2:
Formative question: What is the importance of identifying the standard deviation of a data?
Face-to-face Strategy: Calculation of variance and standard deviation
Synthesis:
Standard deviation is a measure of the precision of a particular data. The lower the standard deviation, the more precise the data would be.

RUA of a Student’s Learning:

Find the standard deviation and variance of the following data (90, 92, 92, 93, 94, 94, 94, 96, 97, 98)?
