Description
Two curricula of introducing measurement uncertainties for high school students have been developed. The central design principle was “trustworthiness of experiments and data” following the GUM recommendations of Type-A and Type-B methods. A time-delayed post-test showed the long term acceptance of the key ideas.
SEK-1 starts with an experiment that leads them to measurement uncertainties. Sources for uncertainties and the trustworthiness are discussed and data is analysed by simple statistical means. In SEK-2, students first build a measuring instrument by themselves for introducing Type-B uncertainties. Both curricula together provide a complete introduction in how to deal with uncertainties of measurement.
