Rules for Measuring with Correct Precision:
• On any measuring scale there is some limit to how
precisely you can measure something.
• This limit is defired by the value of the smallest
marked measurement on the scale.
• You can estimate only one digit between scale markings.
5.57
For liquids, measure

from the bottom of the
m 18
meniscus (curve formed
by the liquid). The
measurement to the

right would be 17.6

• If a measufement falls on one of the lines,
use the same number of decimal places TTTT
as if it fell between markings.

B = 5.70
C = 6.00
V Do not add a guess/estimate if the instrument is digital (ex - electronic balance, digital thermometer).
All measurements have 2 parts:
1. Numerical part, the number (sometimes called a factor).
2. A Dimension (sometimes called a factor or unit)
So, in addition to recording the correct number of digits, EVERY measurement must also include a UNIT!

for the instrument. Write your answer on the line provided and be sure to include a unit with your answer.
