The answer for this would be PRECISION ERROR. What makes the precision of the measurement erroneous is how his partner, Molly, is holding the beaker with her hands. Since they are measuring for the temperature, this would give them an erroneous result knowing that the temperature from Molly's hand would also contribute to the temperature of the water in the beaker.
