Which side of the ruler will we use in Earth Science? Aim: Review Basic Measurement Do Now: Take a ruler from the back of the room for you and your partner to share during this lesson/activity. Which side of the ruler will we use in Earth Science?

Milli (mm) = .001 Thousandths Centi (cm) = .01 Hundredths Deci (dm) = .1 Tenths Base (M, L, G) Deka (Dm) = 10 Ten Hecto (Hm) = 100 Hundreds Kilo (Km) = 1000 Thousands

I. Length (meter) The distance between two points Measured using a Ruler or Meter Stick II. Mass (gram) The amount of matter in an object Measured using a Triple Beam Balance or Electronic Scale III. Volume (Liter) The amount of space an object takes up Measure using: 1) Ruler  L x W x H 2) Graduated Cylinder  Water displacement method

What is this? Graduated Cylinder 15 ml -10 ml = 5 ml Water Displacement Example: 1) Record starting volume of water _________ 2) Place in object 3) Find new volume of water + object _________ 4) Subtract to find volume of object 10 ml 15 ml 15 ml -10 ml = 5 ml What is this? Graduated Cylinder

Freezing Point 0 oC 32 oF 273 K Boiling Point 100 oC 211 oF 374 K IV. Temperature (Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit) The average amount of kinetic energy in an object (moving energy) Measured using a Thermometer Freezing Point 0 oC 32 oF 273 K Boiling Point 100 oC 211 oF 374 K ESRT

V. Time (seconds, minutes and hours) The amount of space between two events Measured using a Stop Watch or Clock Seconds are the basic units used

Closure: Take a Basic Measurement worksheet from the back table top bin. Work on both sides with your partner and use your notes.

Aim: Converting Basic Measurement Do Now: In your notebooks list the base units used for each of the measurements. Length: ____ Volume: _____or____ Mass:______

Converting Metric Units King Henry's Dog Bites Dogs Cats and Mice Kilo = 1000 Converting Metric Units Hecto (H) = 100 Deka (D) = 10 Base (M, L, G) Deci (d) = .1 Centi (c) = .01 King Henry's Dog Bites Dogs Cats and Mice Milli (m) = .001

To convert to a Smaller unit you move the decimal to the right Kilo (K) = 1000 To convert to a Smaller unit you move the decimal to the right Hecto (H) = 100 Deka (D) = 10 Base (M, L, G) Deci (d) = .1 Centi (c) = .01 To convert to a Larger unit you move the decimal to the left Milli (m) = .001

Ex: 1000 mg = ________g 109 g = __________kg 250 m = ________km Kilo = 1000 Hecto (H) = 100 Deka (D) = 10 Deci (d) = .1 Centi (c) = .01 Milli (m) = .001 Base (M, L, G)

Closure Take a Metric Conversions worksheet from the back table bottom bin. Work with your partner and use your notes. Work on the EVEN questions only.
