3. Mechanics of measurement (pg. 9) Science is only as good as the instrument that measures it

4. Accuracy vs. Precision • Accuracy- how close you are to the ‘true’ measurement. • Precision- how close your measurements are to each other.

5. How to read a scaled device • Step 1: Determine the intervals used on the scale. (Is it counting by ones, tens, fives, etc.?) • Step 2: Record the measurement and then record one more number. • The last number is always uncertain, but its in the ball park Recording Measurement Worksheet

6. How would you read this? 1. What is it counting by? Ones 2. What it the measurement? 23 3. What is the uncertainty number? 23.0

7. Graduated cylinder Always read the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Read at the bottom of the meniscus

8. Thermometers

10. How to use a mass scale • Make sure it is on and the lid is UP. • Zero the balance before you mass • NEVER put chemicals directly on the plate
