Length – the distance between 2 points Circumference – distance around a circular object
Metric ruler Meter stick Measuring tape
Km = kilometer * m = meter * (BASE UNIT) cm = centimeter mm = millimeter 1 km = 1000 m 1 m = 100 cm 1 m = 1000 mm 1 cm = 10 mm
Mass – the amount of matter in an object Tool: Triple Beam balance Units: kg = kilogram * g = gram * (BASE UNIT) mg = milligram 1kg = 1000 g 1 g = 1000 mg
Volume – the amount of space an object takes up Capacity – amount something can hold
Graduated cylinder Beaker Flask Metric measuring spoons
kl = kiloliter *l = liter* (BASE UNIT) ml = milliliter 1 kl = 1000 l 1 l = 1000ml
Regular Shape Objects: Method: Use the formula L x W x H (length x width x height) TOOLS: Ruler Meter Stick UNITS: m 3 = cubic meters cm 3 = cubic centimeters * 1 cm 3 will hold 1 ml of liquid*
Irregular Shape Objects: Method : Displacement Total Volume – Beginning Volume TOOL: Graduated cylinder UNITS: ml change to cm 3 EX: Beginning Volume 70 ml Total Volume 76 ml Volume of Object 6 ml = 6 cm 3
Name: Temperature – It measures kinetic energy or energy of motion. Tool: Thermometer Units: °C – Celsius (normal temps) ° K – Kelvin (extreme temps) ° F – Farenheit (English temps) ° C° F Boiling Point of Water 100 °C 212 °F Freezing Point of Water 0°C32° F
