Topic: Scientific Measurement Date: Sept 15, 2014 Aim: How do I measure mass, length, volume of liquids, and temperature with accuracy and precision? Mrs. Norma D. Cullo DO NOW: Answer in your notes. 1.When do we use measurement? Measurement is finding a value (number) that shows the size or amount of something. Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value. Precision is how close the measured values are to each other. 2. In the figures below, which do you think has a more accurate and precise measurement? Why? AB C High PrecisionHigh Accuracy High Accuracy High Precision
