Chemistry: Accuracy, Precision, & Measurement-Print/Digital |Distance Learning

Updated: Now includes print and digital options for the lesson. Perfect for distance learning or the paperless classroom. Interactive student notes, exit ticket, and homework for Google Slides™. In this complete lesson, students will differentiate between accuracy and precision. Accuracy will be related to percentage error, and precision is related to the precision of the measuring instrument. Students will accurately record measurements for mass, liquid volume, temperature, and length. A class activity is described in the teacher notes. You will notice that within this lesson the words significant figures are not used. This is very important! In order for students to accept that significant figures are not just some torture devise concocted by chemistry teachers, they must have a firm understanding of the importance of sig figs. And, we establish this importance by teaching proper measurement first! At this level, the main focus on measurement is how to record the m
