1 Types of Quantitative Measurements
Chapter 1, Section 2

2 What are the different types of measurements you can use to collect data?
Length Mass Temperature Weight Time Volume Density

3 Compare the Different Types of Measurements
Length The distance from one point to another point. Base (SI) unit is the meter (m) Tool is the metric ruler.

4 2. Volume a. the amount of space a substance occupies. b. Base (SI) unit is the liter (L). c. Tools : Metric ruler for regular objects or a graduated cylinder for liquids. 3. Mass a. the amount of matter in an object. b. Base (SI) unit- gram (g) c. Tool : balance

5 4. Weight a. A measure of gravitational force on an object. b. base (SI) unit- Newton (N) c. Tool- Scale 5. Time a. How long an event takes to occur. b. Base (SI) Unit- second (s) c. Tool – stopwatch (clock)

6 6. Temperature a. The amount of kinetic energy a substance has. b. base (SI) unit- Celsius (C) c. Tool- thermometer 7. Density a. How compacted the matter is in a substance. b. Base (SI) Units- gram/ml, gram/cm3 c. Density is a calculated unit. d. D = Mass / Volume or D=M/V

7 Practice (We Do) Think- Pair- Share.
Think- Identify the measurement and tool for each situation. Pair- Discuss with your partner your responses. Share- Confirm a correct response and correct those you may have wrong. Paste in your notebook on the next page.
