2. Measurement Quantitative or Qualitative?
..think what it means when you say “quality over quantity”
Measurement is QUANTITATIVE information
Quantitative=numerical
Qualitative=descriptive

3. Measurement “The book is 65…” “It is kilometers until we get there…”
Each measurement represents a quantity
-quantity: something that has size/magnitude/amount
**5 grams (a measurement) represents:
-mass (a quantity)
Every measurement has a number & a unit of measurement.
-unit of measurement: compares what is being measured to a previously defined size
-liter, kilometer, gram etc.
“The book is 65…”
NEEDS A UNIT OF MEASUREMENT!
Unit of measurement depends on the quantity being measured..
If mass: the book is 65 milligrams -If length: the book is 65 centimeters
“It is kilometers until we get there…”
NEEDS A NUMBER!
Down the street: 1 kilometer --To Pittsburgh: 90 kilometers

4. It is so American to try & be different…
The units of measurement we typically use-inches, miles, feet, pounds…are NOT STANDARD
Meaning what….?
Ever traveled to another country?

5. SI units  aka the International System of Measurement
SI units ARE international and are used universally.
Plus…they are in lovely powers of 10 which make it nice & easy to convert between quantities
English System (ew) is only simple to convert with previous knowledge…
What about “foot” tells you how many “inches” are within it?
What about “kilometer” tells you how many “meters” are within it?

6. Which quantities can we measure?
Length unit of measurement: meter (m)
mass unit of measurement: gram (g)
volume unit of measurement: liter (L)
passage of time unit of measurement: second (s)
temperature unit of measurement: Kelvin (K)
amount of substance unit of measurement: mole (mol)

7. Some SI base units are…. write this table into notes meter Mass kg
QUANTITY
BASE UNIT
SYMBOL

Mass kg

8. Prefixes remember powers of 10..
Mega ,000,000 times larger than the base unit (1,000,000x the size)
Kilo times larger than the base unit (1000x the size)
BASE UNIT 
Deci times smaller than the base unit (1/10 the size)
Centi times smaller than the base unit (1/100 the size)
Milli times smaller than the base unit (1/1000 the size)
Micro-----1,00,000 times smaller than the base unit (1/1,000,000 the size)
Nano---1,000,000,000 times smaller than the base unit (1/1,000,000,000 the size)

9. the distance between two points
LENGTH (l)
the distance between two points
Base Unit: m

10. LENGTH Instead of inches, foot, yard, mile (ew, gross)
We use nanometer, micrometer, millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter, kilometer
which is easy. because the word __________ is in each!

11. Millimeter(mm)-thickness of a dime
There are _________ millimeters (mm) in a centimeter (cm).
There are _________millimeters (mm) in a meter (m).
There are _________millimeters (mm) in a kilometer (km).

12. centimeter (cm)-about the diameter of a school blouse button
There are __________centimeters (cm) in a meter (m).
There are __________centimeters (cm) in a kilometer (km).

13. meter (m)-about the height of a doorknob
one meter

14. kilometer(km)-about the length of 5 city blocks
1 kilometer (km) is equal to __________ meters (m).
1 kilometer (km) is equal to __________centimeters (cm).

15. What makes the most sense…
What would you measure your driveway in?
What would you measure the width of your computer screen in?
What would you measure the distance between you and your best friend’s house in?
What would you measure the length of you fingernail in?

16. Micrometer (μm) 1000000μm=1m 1000mm=1m Millimeter (mm) 100 cm = 1m
Centimeter (cm)
Meter (m) 1m
1/1000 km=1m
Kilometer (km)

17. conversions cheat sheet
KILOMETER 1km=1000m 1 m=1/1000km
CENTIMETER 1 cm=1/100m 1m=100cm
MILLIMETER 1mm=1/1000m 1 m=1000mm
“meter”
“meter”
“meter”

18. Measure of the quantity of matter
MASS (m)
Measure of the quantity of matter
Base Unit: kg

19. MASS Instead of ounce, pound (ew, gross)
We use milligram, gram, kilogram
which is easy. because the word __________ is in each!

20. milligram (mg) -mass of a very small snowflake
There are _________ milligrams (mg) in a gram (g).
There are _________milligrams (mg) in a kilogram (kg).

21. gram(g)-about the mass of a dime

22. kilogram(kg)-the mass of a typical text book
1 kilogram (kg) is equal to __________ grams (g).
1 kilogram (kg) is equal to __________milligrams (mg).

23. What makes the most sense…
What would you measure your mass in?
What would you measure the mass of your backpack in?
What would you measure 20 grains of salt in?
What would you measure a beaker in?

24. The amount of space occupied by an object
VOLUME(V)
The amount of space occupied by an object
Base Unit: m3

25. Volume
Instead of teaspoon, tablespoon, ounce, cup, pint, quart, gallon
We use milliliter, liter
which is easy. because the word __________ is in each!

26. Volume 1 m3 = 1 000 000 cm3 1 L = 1000 cm3 large amount!
thus 1mL =1cm3

27. Volume
1 milliliter (mL) is equal to __________ liters (L).

28. Length Measurement

29. What If What You are Measuring isn’t an exact amount of centimeters?
Report in decimals: 2.6 centimeters

30. just a little length lab..
