METRIC MEASUREMENT Names Length the distance between 2

METRIC MEASUREMENT

Names: • Length – the distance between 2 points Circumference – distance around a circular object

Tools: Metric ruler Meter stick Measuring tape

Units: 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

Name: Mass – the amount of matter in an object Tool: Triple Beam balance Units: kg = kilogram * g = gram * (BASE UNIT) mg = milligram 1 kg = 1000 g 1 g = 1000 mg

Names: Volume – the amount of space an object takes up Capacity – amount something can hold

Tools Graduated cylinder Beaker Flask Metric measuring spoons

Units kl = kiloliter *l = liter* (BASE UNIT) ml = milliliter 1 kl = 1000 l 1 l = 1000 ml

SOLID VOLUME 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 Total Volume of Object 70 ml 76 ml = 6 cm 3

Temperature Notes 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) Boiling Point of Water Freezing Point of Water °C °F 100 °C 212 °F 0°C 32° F
