Measuring the Density of a Sugar SolutionKaren I. Peterson This experiment addresses the concept of equipment calibration for reducing systematic error. Students prepare and measure the densities of sucrose solutions with simple glassware that has been calibrated using the density of water. By careful work, students can determine the density to within 0.5%. allowing accuracy to be a major component of the final grade. Peterson, Karen I. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1089.

Which Method Is Most Precise; Which Is Most Accurate?A. D. Jordan The main objective of this experiment, which involves determining the density of a liquid by several methods, is to familiarize students with the concepts of precision and accuracy using data that can be acquired easily with a variety of apparatus and analyzed by simple statistics and a linear regression.
