How does accuracy differ from precision a scientific measurement?
Accuracy is the tendency for a measurement to be correct. A more accurate measurement will be closer to the true value than a less accurate measurement. Precision is the tendency to come to the same measurement under the same conditions on multiple occasions. A precise measurement may not be accurate, but can be reproduced time after time and give the same (or sImilar) result.
What are SI Units in a science experiment?
a system of measurement for science, industry and commerce
Why are both accuracy and precision important in making a measurement?
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
What does precision in science terms mean?
If you are trying to ask "what does precision in science mean" then I can begin to answer your question. Precision in measurement is a way of deciding how accurate a measurement is. If I were to measure my height with a ruler stick and a pencil against a wall I would expect the measurement to be accurate to a few millimetres. This is usually expressed in scientific terms as "plus or minus" so many millimetres. It is considered unscientific and unfair to describe measurements you may make in scientific work to a greater precision than you can actually make. I am about 5.9 metres (+- 1 cm) but it would be inaccurate and unscientific to say that I was 5.9354 metres tall. JCF
What measurement is the most accurate for a pellet with a mass of 3.25 grams 3 grams 3.20 grams 3.27 grams or 3.50?
3.27 grams is closest to 3.25 grams, and is therefore the most accurate measurement.
Why is accuracy crucial for science?
If you are not accurate in science the outcome of your experiment will be incorrect.

A measurement that is accurate is one that?
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
Do you agree that science is accurate?
Yes, absolutely. Accuracy of measurement only goes 'so far'; beyond that point lies imprecision.
