What will I learn?

This concise, hands-on course on measurements and uncertainties leads you through planning a precise pendulum experiment, measuring length and period, and evaluating uncertainties using straightforward statistical methods. You will learn to propagate errors for calculating g, construct an error budget, compare against standard values, and report findings in a clear, reproducible manner that enhances all your future measurements.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Uncertainty propagation: calculate g using partial derivatives and relative errors.
  • Error budgets: identify main error sources and optimise pendulum measurements quickly.
  • Statistical tests for agreement: rigorously compare measured g with accepted values.
  • Precision timing and length measurement: plan repeated trials and determine 1-sigma errors.
  • Professional laboratory reporting: present g ± u(g), units, significant figures, and percentage error.
