What is a Measurement?Measurement – describes a physical
quantity with a number AND a unit

Measuring Mass1. Put weighing
container on balance.
2. Zero the balance.3. Fill container with
matter.4. Read balance. Do
NOT round.

Measuring Volume1. At eye level, look at
the surface level of the liquid.
2. Measure at the bottom of the meniscus, or curve.
3. Watch the lines! (Be careful when figuring out how many mL each line represents!)
Each line in this graduated cylinder is 1 mL

Accuracy, Precision, Percent ErrorAccuracy – how close a measurement is to
the actual value
Precision – how exact your measuring tool is(usually has more numbers)

Accuracy, Precision, Percent ErrorPercent Error – shows how accurate a
measurement isSmaller Percent Error = More Accurate

Example 1
Which trial has the most EXACT measurement?
Trial 3 is the most precise
Which trial has the smallest percent error?Trial 2 is the most accurate

Example 2The actual volume of a 2 Liter bottle of soda is 2
L. However, when I measure the amount of liquid inside, I measure 1.9L. What is my percent error?
Actual Value: 2LYour Value: 1.9L
