2. Area Definition – Number of square units that fit into a two dimensional space. 7cm Area = 5cm x 7cm = 35 cm2 = 35 square centimeters 5cm

Area Applications The square feet in a house. In metric, the square meters in a house. The square feet of carpet in the classroom. In metric, the square meters of carpet in the classroom. Calculate it! The area in square centimeters of the cover of the Pre-Algebra book.

Big Areas Large areas of land in the United States are frequently measured in acres. One square mile, which is called a section, has 640 acres. Therefore, one acre is 1/640 of a square mile. One mile = 5280 feet. One square mile is hence equal to 5280 feet x 5280 feet = 27878400 square feet. One acre is 1/640 times 27878400 = 43,560 square feet. Large areas of land in the metric system are measured in Hectares. 1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters (100 meters x 100 meters) 1 hectare is about 2.5 acres

3. Volume Definition volume – the amount of three dimensional space an object occupies. Measured in cubic units such as cubic meters, cubic centimeters, etc. 1cm 1cm 1m 1cm One Cubic Meter 1cm One Cubic Centimeter (cm3) 1m 1m

What’s the volume? Calculate it! Answer? 140 cm3 280m3 5cm 4cm 7cm 10m 7m 4m

The cube is one decimeter by one decimeter by one decimeter What is the volume in cubic decimeters? 1 dm3 What is the volume in cubic centimeters? Clue: What are the dimensions in cm? 10cm x 10cm x 10cm = 1,000 cm3

Some Interesting Volume Names 1 cubic decimeter = 1,000 cubic centimeters = 1 Liter (L) 1 cubic centimeter (cm3) is abbreviated in medicine frequently as cc. 1 cm3 = 1 cc = 1 milliliter = 1 mL 1 mL of water at standard temperature and pressure has a Mass of 1 gram (gm) 1 L of water at standard temperature and pressure has a Mass of 1 kilogram (Kg) More on Mass later

Common Places Where Volume is Used Diet Coke can holds 355 mL of Diet Coke Water bottle holds 500 mL or 0.5 L of water

In chemistry, we can measure volume with a flask, beaker or more accurately with a graduated cylinder Graduated cylinder beaker Erlenmeyer flask

Volume from Geometry Coke can has inner diameter of about 6.1cm and a height of about 12 cm It is roughly a cylinder Area = area base x height = Πr2h = 3.14x3.05cmx3.05cmx12cm= 351 cm3, which is close to what the Coke can says

Volume from Graduated Cylinder Or pour the liquid into a graduated cylinder

How do I find the volume of the rock?

Ideas? Does this give you an idea? It reads 200 mL at the bottom of the meniscus. How does this help in finding the volume of the rock?

What do I do with the rock? Put rock in water See how much water it displaces That equals the volume of the rock Here, the original volume of the water was 200mL The new volume is about 245mL The volume of the rock is 245mL – 200mL = 45mL

4. Mass Mass- the measure of the amount of matter in an object Root prefix unit is gram (In SI the base unit is kilogram. A gram is 1/1000 of a kilogram.) King Hector died Monday drinking chocolate milk kilo hecto deca (gram) deci centi milli As a practical matter, people primarily use kilogram (1,000 grams), grams and milligrams (.001 gram or 1/1,000 of a gram) Informally, a kilogram is about 2.2 pounds, a paper clip has a mass of about 1 gram and a new penny has a mass of about 2.5 gram. Milligrams are very small and are frequently used to measure the mass of medicines.

Mass versus Weight In everyday language, people often use mass and weight interchangeably. They are different, however. Weight is the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration due to gravity. Weight is a force. In the metric system it is measured in Newtons. In customary units it is measured in pounds. Your mass is same on earth as it is on the moon. Your weight on earth is different from your weight on the moon since there is less gravity on the moon. If I weigh 100 pounds on earth, I would weigh only 16.6 pounds on the moon. I would weigh 236.4 pounds on Jupiter. (http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/)

How to Measure Mass Mass is measured with a balance like the simple balance or triple beam balance below Simple Balance Triple Beam Balance

Measuring Mass with Triple Beam Balance Set object on pan Move largest mass (middle) to point just before balance tips Move mass in back to point just before balance tips Move smallest mass (front) until line is exactly at zero

A Scale Measure Weight, Not Mass The spring scale here technically measures weight, not mass Weight is a force that is equal to the mass times the acceleration of gravity This scale will show different weights on earth and the moon. A balance will give the same measure of mass. The metric unit for weight is a Newton This spring scale actually reads in grams, however, a unit of mass. It is a reasonably accurate measure of mass on earth.

A Digital Scale While technically a scale that measures weight, this is set up to measure mass in grams also It would not give an accurate mass on the moon Here, the rock has a mass of 115 grams It is precise to the nearest gram A digital scale is fast and easy to use.

5. Density Density is mass divided by volume I.e., density is mass per unit volume A measure of density is grams/mL

Each is about the same volume. Golf Ball Table Tennis Ball Which one has the greater density?

Let’s find the density of each. Volume of sphere = Golf Ball Diameter of golf ball is: __________ Find volume: ________ Mass of golf ball is: ______________ (Use balance to measure) Density = Mass/Volume Make sure you have appropriate units in the result Table Tennis Ball Diameter of table tennis ball is: __________ Find volume: ________ Mass of table tennis ball is: ______________ (Use balance to measure) Density = Mass/Volume Make sure you have appropriate units in the result

Measuring the Mass with Triple Beam Balance

Let’s see the result Table Tennis Ball Diameter of table tennis ball is: 3.6 cm Find volume: Mass of table tennis ball is: 2.6g Density = Mass/Volume 2.6g/24.43mL = 0.106g/mL Golf Ball Diameter of golf ball is: 4.0 cm Find volume: Mass of golf ball is: 46.0g Density = Mass/Volume 46.0g/33.51mL = 1.37 g/mL The golf ball is almost 13 times more dense. (1.37/.106 =12.9)

You Do It! Determine the density of the tennis ball and baseball.

Find the density of each. Volume of sphere = Baseball Diameter of baseball is: __________ Find volume: ________ Mass of baseball is: ______________ (Use balance to measure) Density = Mass/Volume Make sure you have appropriate units in the result Tennis Ball Diameter of tennis ball is: __________ Find volume: ________ Mass of tennis ball is: ______________ (Use balance to measure) Density = Mass/Volume Make sure you have appropriate units in the result

6. Temperature How hot or cold a substance is A measure of the average kinetic energy of an object Two common scales to measure – Celsius and Fahrenheit Celsius is used in science and in countries using the metric system Water Boils 100ºC 212ºF Water Freezes 0ºC 32ºF Celsius Fahrenheit

Converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit If you know the Celsius temperature, you can convert to Fahrenheit by plugging in the Celsius temperature in this formula. The same formula in decimal form. If you know the Fahrenheit temperature, you can convert to Celsius by plugging in the Fahrenheit temperature in this formula. It’s good to know at least the top formula since they show up on standardized tests. If you know the top formula, you can also solve for C to get the bottom formula.

If you are familiar with the slope intercept form of a line, you can figure out the formulas.
