The problem:

Answer the following:

How accurately do you think you can measure the time between two events using the TIMER program?

answer/question/discussion:

Using the timer program I think you can measure the time between two events with less than a second of accuracy.

What is the timer program?

How accurate is it?

What is the shortest time interval you think you would be able to measure with reasonable accuracy?

answer/question/discussion:

I think the shortest time interval is a milasecond.

What is the shortest time interval?

How does the percent error in timing intervals change as the time between the events gets smaller?

answer/question/discussion:

The percent error decreases because if the time between the events gets smaller than the chance of error in timing would get smaller.
