1. Length and Solid Volume The metric system at use!!!

2. First, We Need To Know Length!! Length: the unit of measure to determine the distance of an object

3. What Are Those Markings??

4. How Can We Change From Centimeters to Millimeters, etc. ? X If you move right up the stairs, move the decimal point right as many steps as you moved If you move left down the stairs, move the decimal point left as many steps as you moved

5. You Try!!! 45.0 m = ___________ mm 85.0 mL = ___________ L

6. Time For Solid Volume!!

7. Water Displacement 3 Steps 1.Take an original volume of the water in the graduated cylinder water in the graduated cylinder 2. Place the object in the water 3. Observe the new volume and subtract the original volume from the new volume

8. You Try!!! Final Volume = 9.8 mL - Initial Volume = 8.8 mL Volume of Object = 1.0 mL

9. Use The Equation!! If the object has straight edges and can be measured with a meter stick, use the following equation V = L x H x W Length Height Width cm 3

10. You Try!! 2.0 cm 5.0 cm 3.0 cm Length = 3.0 cm Height = 5.0 cm Width = 2.0 cm X Volume = 30.0 cm3
