Units and Measurements

This document discusses units and measurements in science. It provides definitions and examples of common units used to measure various physical quantities like length, mass, time and others. It also discusses the different types of errors that can occur when measuring physical quantities, including systematic errors, random errors, and instrumental errors. Key units discussed include meters, seconds, grams, and more from the International System of Units (SI units).
