Physics IA Uncertainties Average

Hi~ I am writing my physics IA, and have come across a problem: I have data for six trials, and when I am calculating the uncertainty of its average values, which of the two methods should I use?:

1. (max-min)/2 method

2. standard deviation

Should I use the first method or the second method for my average uncertainty for six trials? Which one is the method that is generally approved by IB and is capable of getting a level 7 in the internal assessment?

Thank you!!
