Measurements Lab Skills These exercises cover measurement and observation skills that you will be using in future labs. Since these skills often cause big time issues in future labs, because of varied math skill levels, we use the first lab of the semester to get everyone up to speed. If you are already strong in these areas, you should finish today's lab quickly. If, however, you are weaker, you may need more time and might need to work on it outside class time over the next week. If you're struggling, reach out for help. Come to office hours or make an appointment with the instructor. Just be sure you take the time now to master this material before proceeding further in this class. Inequalities is a Greater than sign. Example: 7 > 6 means 7 is greater than 6. X > 7 means any number greater than 7. In science we use inequalities regularly to describe uncertainty of measured numbers and to provide estimates that sit within a range of numbers. As such, you will need to be able to read an inequality correctly. Examples: (The mouth of the alligator opens towards the larger meal!) 6 m > 2 m means 6 m is greater than 2 m. 4 m > = 1 inch Question 2: Use symbols and variable X to describe a measurement between 6 meters and 18 meters. Question 3: Use symbols and variable X to describe a measurement that is less than or equal to 2.5 meters. Question 4: Translate the following math symbols into English: 10
