Significant Figures Discovery Worksheet
This worksheet aims not only to help students practice measuring with significant figures, precision, and uncertainty, but it aims to teach students why we use significant figures, which inevitably is a much harder task. In the design of the worksheet, each box is actually the same. The hope is that as students complete the worksheet in order, they realize that their measurements are more precise with the better rulers and that their calculations of areas need to be more precise as well.
