Lab Log
Attempted to understand the lab for today describing how to use hand gestures to measure angles. Started to review/go over quizzes for first test. Continued and finished review of quizzes for Test 1. Did the hand degree lab focusing on the pinkie being 1 degree. Continued analyze the error of the angular measurement method of using fingers; myself (with help from a classmate) and three other selected people used digital tool to get more precised measurements for class to average and then disprove the original diagram. Briefly went over Hooke's Theory; attempted to understand the errors documented by another class and tried to illustrated a correct way of fixing said errors. Class was divided in half with one half saying the diagram reference of a lab is wrong, while my half was to write why it was wrong along with how (I said we used standard deviation to find the error since it didn't measure 5 degree but 3.67 plus or minus .21, after using a digital measuring device).
