Measurements and Uncertainties Course
from 4 to 360h flexible workload
valid certificate in your country

What will I learn?

This practical course teaches you to design a precise pendulum experiment, measure length and period accurately, quantify uncertainties using statistical methods, propagate errors to calculate g, create error budgets, compare results with standard values, and report findings in a clear, reproducible manner suitable for Zimbabwean physics labs.

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 to standard values.
  • Precision in timing and length: plan repeated trials and determine 1-sigma errors.
  • Professional lab reports: display g ± u(g), units, significant figures, and percentage error.
