Daily Science Name 3 instruments which scientists can use to gather/measure data. Why do you think it’s important that there are established units for measurement worldwide? (cm, mm, liter, gram)

Metric System Reminders Biology 1 Notes

Metric Units and Measurement Length Volume Mass Time Temperature

Units for each Base Length- meters Volume- liters Mass- grams

Prefixes for the Units Prefix Milli Centi Deci Base Deka Hecto Kilo

Now Let’s Practice! On your note sheet, record tips for reading each of the following precisely Who remembers how to read a meniscus on a graduated cylinder? How do you use a ruler to accurately measure this piece of string? How do you accurately weigh this rock? How do you accurately measure the temperature of this water?

Time to learn the step method and fraction set-up for conversions Turn to the back of your worksheets *Teacher Note* do step method first
