AQA Science: Glossary - Interval

The quantity between readings, e.g. a set of 11 readings equally spaced over a distance of 1 metre would give an interval of 10 centimetres.

  1. Izzy is asked to record the temperature in her classroom 6 times in an hour. What interval should she use?

Hint: it's not quite as easy as "10 minutes" because her first reading is at the start (no time!).
