Meter Used to measure length (distance between two points.) Used to measure length (distance between two points.) We use meter sticks to find the length of objects. We use meter sticks to find the length of objects.

Gram Used to measure mass (the amount of matter that makes up an object) Used to measure mass (the amount of matter that makes up an object) A golf ball and a ping pong ball are the same size, but the golf ball has a lot more matter in it. So the golf ball will have more mass. A golf ball and a ping pong ball are the same size, but the golf ball has a lot more matter in it. So the golf ball will have more mass. A large paper clip has a mass of about one gram. A large paper clip has a mass of about one gram.

Gram We will use a triple beam balance scale or a electronic scale to measure mass. We will use a triple beam balance scale or a electronic scale to measure mass.

Liter Used to measure volume _ the amount of space contained in an object. (liquid and gas) Used to measure volume _ the amount of space contained in an object. (liquid and gas) We measure volume with a graduated cylinder. We measure volume with a graduated cylinder.

Other measurements Temperature is measured by a thermometer in degrees Celsius ( o C) Temperature is measured by a thermometer in degrees Celsius ( o C) Time – is measured by seconds, hours, days, centuries, etc. Time – is measured by seconds, hours, days, centuries, etc.
