AccuracyAccuracy
• How close a measured value is to an accepted value
-Accuracy can be determined by just on measurement
-Depends on the quality of the measuring device

Percent ErrorPercent Error
• Accepted Value (also known as theoretical value)
- a quantity used by general agreement of the scientific community
- “what you are supposed to get”
• Experimental Value (also known as the actual value)
- a quantitative value measured during an experiment
- “what you got”

Percent ErrorPercent Error
Error = the difference between the accepted value and the experimental value
Percent Error = the percent that a measured value differs from an accepted value% Error = (What you got) – (What you were supposed to get)
x 100 (What you were supposed to get)

The Fahrenheit ScaleThe Fahrenheit Scale
This is the temperature scale that you are probably most familiar with, living in the United States. When you listen to the weather report on TV, the Fahrenheit scale is used. The thermometers that you have in your house, for use as; swimming pools, cooking, bath tubs, or reading body temperature, are all likely to be in Fahrenheit. In Canada and most other countries, the news will report the temperature on the Celsius Scale.

The Celsius ScaleThe Celsius Scale
The Celsius scale is commonly used for scientific work. The thermometers we use in our lab are marked with the Celsius scale. The Celsius scale is also called the Centigrade scale because it was designed in such a way that there are 100 units or degrees between the freezing point and boiling point of water. One of the limitations of the Celsius scale is that negative temperatures are very common.
Since temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules, this would also suggest that it is possible to have less than zero energy. This is why the Kelvin scale was necessary.

The Kelvin ScaleThe Kelvin Scale
The International System of Measurements (SI) uses the Kelvin scale for measuring temperature. The Kelvin scale is based on the concept of absolute zero, the theoretical temperature at which molecules would have zero kinetic energy. Absolute zero, which is about -273.15°C, is set at zero on the Kelvin scale.
