SI Units
Students know how to… ◦ convert between °C - °K ◦ Analyze situations/solve problems combining and applying concepts.
In science we use measurements to observe. Thus we need to assign the correct units in the numerical value to know what we are talking about.
Most commonly used Units by chemists Length – meter (m) Mass – kilogram (Kg) Temp. – Kelvin (K) Time – second (sec) Amount of a substance- mole (mol) Volume – cubic centimeter (cm 3 )
K H D M D C M
The space occupied by any sample of matter. ◦ Liter (L) is most commonly used measurement. ◦ Not part of the SI Unit Volume = length x width x height
The measurement of the quantity of matter Weight is different. ◦ A force that measures the pull on a given mass by gravity. Kg = mass of 1 L of liquid water at 4° C.
Measured in Kelvin. Comparison of Kevin to Celsius scales.
