- Reference
- A stated basis for comparing observations.
- Resolution
- The smallest change represented by a measuring system.
- Repeatability
- The consistency of observations under the same conditions.
- Boundary
- The conditions and limits chosen for a study.
- Define
State the reference and the purpose of the comparison. - Observe
Friction converts mechanical energy into heat. - Record
Keep the conditions and observations together. - Review
Separate the result from the assumptions used to interpret it.
