Hi, thank you for these videos!! For my IA I measured the viscosity of water, but the values are much higher than the ones found in literature (e.g., 0.2 vs 0.001) They support the relationship of the formula and the hypothesis, but there's an evident systematic error.
My teacher suggested to remove the literature values since there's too much of a difference and thus I might get a lower grade. Do you think it's better to talk it about it or no?

Hi what is it meant by literature, and what would it be another word for it?
