Significant Digits Popcorn Lab/Activity
When my students struggled with accuracy and precision and just plain fought me about writing values with units and significant digits, I knew I had to do something. This activity works! When students are done, they understand why we write values the way that we do and why significant digits or figures are so important. There's some laughter too and a lot of that early in the year grumpiness vanishes.
