2. Measuring devices have limits, might be broken, or might be calibrated incorrectly
3. Outside factors can affect the experiment (temperature, humidity, light, wind, etc.

• Experiments are usually not 100% accurate. This means that an experiment is most of the time, with error. Errors usually occur in measurement or observation and can cause them to be different from the true values of what is being measured.

• Random errors are errors causes by unpredictable circumstances in the experiment

• Systematic errors are caused by faulty or inaccurate instruments used.
