You will gain an understanding of measurement and data collection the use of units of measurement, scientific notation and general application of the Metric System. Accuracy, validity and reliability of measurement and observation is also included.Practical research outdoors in the field is supported by some skill videos and the application of geological mapping, as well as research ideas.Join us in this introduction to the fascinating world on which we live! 3
