If you have a weigh scale that you can adjust the starting point, that is an easy way to explain the difference between precision and accuracy.

Adjust the scale to start at 5lbs instead of at 0.  Each time the same student hops on the scale it will give you the same measurement (precision) but then you ask the students is it accurate?
