Topic: Measurement Aim: How can we measure mass and temperature? Do Now: Scientific Method questions (Hand in Lab Safety Activity) HW:
10 cm 9 cm 8 cm V = L x W x H V = 10cm x 8cm x 9cm V = 720 cm 3
Example: V1 =11.5 mLV2 = 20 mL V = 20 –11.5 V = 8.5 mL
Amount of matter in an object Grams (g) TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE Mass
Mass = 542 gm
172 g
Measures temperature Tube filled with a fluid such as alcohol Thermometer
1.Fahrenheit Scale: Non-metric temp scale °F°F 2 scales used to measure temperature
Water freezes = 32°F Water boils = 212°F Human body temp = 98.6°F
2.Celsius Scale: Metric scale °C°C
Water freezes = 0°C Water boils = 100°C Human body temp = 37°C
Measuring with a thermometer 24°C
Let’s summarize… 1.What is the name of the instrument used to measure mass? 2.Identify the units used to measure mass. 3.What instrument is used to measure temperature? 4.Identify the two temperature scales used. Explain the difference between the two scales.
Mass = gm
Mass = 25.4 gm
Mass = 79.4 gm
