    This document discusses the differences between accuracy and precision in measuring time. It aims to explain how to measure time precisely. Pari is more precise than Kyra in measuring how long it takes for sugar to dissolve because Pari recorded the time to the whole second, while Kyra recorded to a decimal place. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while precision refers to the reproducibility or level of detail of a measurement. Stopwatches measure time precisely, scales measure mass accurately, and rulers measure length precisely. Units of measurement include grams for mass, meters for length, and seconds for time.
