Making Measurements

International System of Measurement (SI) Based on multiples of TEN A universal system of measurement

Common Prefixes in Biology Symbol Meaning kilo K 1,000 hecto H 100 deka Da 10 deci D 1/10 centi C 1/100 milli m 1/1000

Mass Amount of matter in an object Unit= grams (g) Tool- balance

Length Distance between two points unit= meter (m) Tool= ruler, meter stick

Volume Amount of space an object occupies Solid unit- cubic meters (m3) Liquid/gas unit= Liter (L) Tool- graduated cylinder or meterstick

Temperature Amount of heat in an object unit= celcius (C) Tool- thermometer
