How to find density
v=l x w x h
or water displacement
conversion factors
a ratio of 2 quantities that have different units
accuracy def
how close are you to the real value
recision def
how repeatable the measurements are
percent error
(experimental-actual)/actual=x
x times 100
measurement def
quantitative observation consisting of 2 parts
number and unit
sig fig rules
non zero integers always count
leading 0s to non zeros do not count
captive zeros count
trailing 0s count if there is a decimal
