1. SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
And Measurements
Measurement - ruler
Imaging – microsope, telescope, CT, MRI
Detection – LHC
Experiment – space station
Calculation - supercomputer
Exploration – submarine, space probe, planet probe

2. Why Instruments? Measurement Imaging Detection Experimentation
Calculation
Exploration

3. Measurement
We use the International System of Units (SI) metric system as a standard for measurement
It is an international standard
It is based on decimals (not fractions)
It is based on science (not body parts)
It easily scalable (micro, milli, kilo, mega)
1 m = 1,000 mm = km

4. Units and Instruments OK Measurement SI Unit (Symbol) Instrument
Length
Meter (m)
Ruler
Volume
Mass
Time
Temperature
(your choice) OK

5. Write “Measurements” on the outside of long vertical flap
