==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A [[Human Error]] is a mistake made by a [[human]] causes [[results]] to be [[Accuracy|inaccurate]].
===About Human Error===
: '''Human error''' can be caused by [[reading]] an [[Scientific Instrument|instrument]] incorrectly or by an [[Scientific Instrument|instrument]] that relies on a [[human]] to operate it.
: Every time a [[stopwatch]] is used there is a '''human error''' because [[human]]s take time to react to events. The '''human error''' in starting a [[stopwatch]] and stopping a [[stopwatch]] is around 0.2 seconds but can vary from person to person.
A [[measurement]] of 10 seconds with a 0.2 second '''error''' is less [[Accuracy|inaccurate]] than a 0.5 second [[measurement]] and a 0.2 second '''error'''.
: [[Reading]] the value on a [[Measuring Cylinder]] can be [[Accuracy|inaccurate]] due to the [[meniscus]] or if it is not [[reading|read]] at [[Eye Level|eye level]].
