How metric system helped scientist?
All scientists use the metric unit of measurements because it is the most accurate.
Can a flask perform accurate measurements?
It depends on what flask and what the quality of it is. If there is a hole in the flask, then obviously, no measurements. Most of the time, flasks do NOT give the most accurate measurements. Although, they do give more accurate measurements than a human eyeball and flasks do have their strengths compared to other tools as well.
Why is it important for a scientist to make careful observations and to keep accurate records?

What is essential for maintaining a scientist credibility?
Accurate record keeping
Why do scientist do multiple measurements?
Becasue they need to be more accurate with their calulaations.
Which scientist made highly accurate measurements that disproved the theories of ptolemy and Copernicus?
Tycho Brahe designed new equipment to measure planets' positions with unprecedented accuracy. Tycho's observations of the planets' orbits led to his alternative model which still had the Earth at the centre with the Sun orbiting it, but with the five other known planets orbiting the Sun. But Tycho's measurements were used by his assistant Kepler to produce an entirely new theory in 1609 with the planets in elliptical orbits, all orbiting the Sun as in Copernicus's model of 1543. Kepler's theory is still used today. It's important to remember that the theories of Ptolemy and Copernicus are not 'wrong', it would be better to say they are not as accurate as Kepler's theory. As models, all three of them predict the planets' positions fairly accurately.
How scientist know that the Earth's lithosphere is moving?
Accurate measurements have been made with global positioning satellites and lasers.

If careful and accurate scientific measurements disagree with the measurements predicted by a theory then what?
The measurements are inaccuarate.
What provides a more accurate description of matter than measurements?
There is no more accurate descriptions of matter than measurements. To get the description right make your measurements precise.

Can a measurements be both precise and accurate?
yes...
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.

The difference in measurements was approx. 0,6 %.
What are the uses of measuring tools?
To obtain accurate measurements.
