LEARNING TARGET: STUDENTS WILL USE PERCENT YIELD AND PERCENT ERROR TO DETERMINE IF THEIR LAB IS ACCURATE OR PRECISE
Analyzing Results
At the end of every lab that requires measurements, we will be calculating % yield for our individual results and % error as a class. The calculations will allow us to see the amount of accuracy and precision in our labs. % yield shows accuracy and % error show precision.
% yield = experimental/theoretical x100
% error = theoretical-experimental/theoretical x 100
% yield = experimental/theoretical x100
% error = theoretical-experimental/theoretical x 100
