1. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

2. WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS?  Have you ever used a map?  Since the map is a small-scale representation of a large area, there is a scale that you can use to convert from small-scale units to large-scale units—for example, going from inches to miles or from cm to km.

3. WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS? Ex: 3 cm = 50 km

4. WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS?  Have you ever been to a foreign country?  One of the most important things to do when visiting another country is to exchange currency.  For example, one United States dollar equals 19.08 Czech Koruna (Crowns).

5. WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS?  Whenever you use a map or exchange currency, you are utilizing the scientific method of dimensional analysis.

6. WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS?  Dimensional analysis is a problem-solving method that uses the idea that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value.  It is used to go from one unit to another.

7. Equalities are two measurements with different units that are equal to each other. EQUALITIES

8. Each equality can be used to form two conversion factors. 1 in = 2.54 cm or 2.54 cm= 1 in A conversion factor is a ratio of two units that is equal to one. CONVERSION FACTORS

21. DENSITY

22.  A substance’s mass divided by its volume, typically written in g/cm 3  Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume  If the object is purely solid, then density determines if objects float. Water’s density is 1.00 g/cm 3. Objects with a density greater than water will sink and those with density less than water float.  The density depends on the material of the object, not its size or weight.

23. DENSITY PRACTICE  You measured a piece of Aluminum and it was found to have a volume of 6.30 cm 3 and a mass 18.77 g. What is the density?
