2. I. Length (meter)
The distance between two points
Measured using a Ruler or Meter Stick
II. Mass (gram)
The amount of matter in an object
Measured using a Triple Beam Balance or Electronic Scale
III. Volume (Liter)
The amount of space an object takes up
Measure using:
1) Ruler  L x W x H (cm3)
2) Graduated Cylinder  Water displacement method (ml)

3. One partner got to the back table and take a ruler and metal cube.
With your partner measure the volume of the metal cube using L x W x H. Record all your measurements using the model below. Be sure to add appropriate units.
1) Record the Length _________
2) Record the Width _____________
3) Record the Height _________
4) Multiply the three measured values _____________________
5) Be sure to add proper units
What should my units look like?

4. One partner return the ruler and metal cube
One partner return the ruler and metal cube. From the side sink, the other partner should take a graduated cylinder and fill it with any amount of water. Take a rock, and bring both back to your table.
With your partner, measure the volume of the rock using The Water Displacement Method. Record all your measurements using the model below. Be sure to add appropriate units.
1) Record starting volume of water _________
2) Place in object
3) Find new volume of water + object _________
4) Subtract to find volume of object

6. V. Time (seconds, minutes and hours)
The amount of space between two events
Measured using a Stop Watch or Clock
Seconds are the basic units used

7. Closure:
Take a Basic Measurement worksheet from the Do Now bin.
Work on both sides with your partner and use your notes.

8. Aim: Converting Basic Measurement
Do Now:
In your notebooks list the base units used for each of the measurements.
Length: ____ Volume: _____or____ Mass:______
