2. In science class, we will be using the Metric System
In science class, we will be using the Metric System. The metric system is a way of measuring, which is used ALL over the world. Most countries use the metric system. In the U.S., we use the Customary System instead, which can make it difficult when trying to change from one system to the other. You can’t use both at the same time – only one or the other.
Metric vs. Customary

9. Liters and solid volume in
**Volume is a measure of how much _________________ an object takes up. Liquid volume is measured in ________ ________________ cubic meters (cm3)
2 ways to find Volume:
1) Regular shapes -Measure with a ruler the length, width and height and use the formula:
V = l x w x h
2) Irregular shapes –
Use water displacement method
(Subtract the volume of water displaced by the object from the original water volume.
